A man who devoted a substantial amount of his resources found himself disheartened when actual dogs shied away from interacting with him at the park.
The individual in question, a Japanese man named Toco, had invested a significant sum into an exceptionally lifelike costume that allowed him to resemble a dog, driven by his deep and unwavering affection for these animals. However, despite the substantial financial commitment he had made, he was met with disappointment when genuine dogs did not treat him as a fellow canine companion.
During an interview with The Sun, Toco expressed his dismay, revealing, “They appeared somewhat taken aback, and regrettably, they did not extend the same camaraderie towards me.” In response to critical remarks, he remained resolute in his determination to pursue his passion for role-playing.
He remarked, “It saddens me that some people may hold such views. I have a genuine love for animals and derive great joy from portraying the role of a collie. This is my chosen hobby, and I intend to persist.” Toco also hinted at his intention to seek out other individuals who identify as therians, people who feel a connection to non-human species, in order to foster a sense of community and understanding.
