A Japanese man who underwent a dramatic transformation to resemble a dog using an ultra-realistic costume has been left heartbroken after finding himself shunned by actual dogs at a local park.
The individual, known as Toco, invested a substantial sum of money into his unique passion for mimicking the appearance of dogs, only to discover that his canine counterparts did not reciprocate his enthusiasm.
Toco’s endeavor into dog impersonation left him feeling disillusioned when real dogs in the park failed to interact with him on equal terms.
Despite his painstaking efforts to achieve an authentic dog-like appearance, the animals appeared surprised and unresponsive to his presence.

In his words:
“They seemed a little surprised, and unfortunately, they did not treat me as an equal.”
