A Japanese man spent more than $15,000 on a costume so he could transform into a dog - and not just any dog, a collie.
“I made it a collie because it looks real when I put it on,” Toko-San told local news outlet Mynavi. He bought the furry getup from Zeppet, a company that makes costumes for TV commercials and films, and says it took 40 days and multiple revisions to perfect the dog suit.
Describing his inspiration for becoming his own best friend, Toko-San said, “My favorite is quadrupedal animals — especially cute ones. Among them, I thought that a big animal close to me would be good, considering that it would be a realistic model, so I decided to make it a dog.”
