If you love dogs and slightly odd stories then this one might be right up your alley. We sometimes meant to escape the daily life that we live and possibly live a simpler life, say that of a dog, but many of us wouldn't actually do this.

Well, this Japanese man has had a lifelong dream of being a dog and he's finally fulfilled his goal and what he's been on the journey to do for a while. This story is rather odd, surprising, and even a little bit sweet.

The man, whose name is Tokyo, commissioned a company named Zeppet to create this real-life-looking dog costume for him. They took 40 days to accomplish this realistic collie dog costume and Tokyo is more than happy about it.

Tokyo shares all of his content on social media where he posts photos of the dog costume and just him overall living his dream of being a four-legged furball. It's definitely a weird sight to see but it is sweet to see this man finally accomplishing his goals.

We're going to dive into this story to talk about why he made this decision, how much he spent on the costume, and more, so let's get into it!

Here's a great video of Tokyo in his dog costume showing it off.

His social media accounts are taking off.

Tokyo has shared the debut of this dog costume on his YouTube channel to over 1,000 subscribers and since then his videos have hit over 600k views.

People are split on this though.

The video on Twitter got 50,000 likes, but people seem to be split on Tokyo's alternative lifestyle.

He went viral in Japan when he showed off his costume on his YouTube channel.

His video shows his starting off standing with piano music in the background, but later on he waves his paws and rolls around on the floor.

People don't really know what to think.

SOme people are praising him saying this is awesome, while others are telling him that he'll never be a real dog no matter how much he spends.

Zeppet did many rounds of revisions to perfect this costume.

Tokyo was with the company Zeppet the whole way through the process making sure everything was to his liking.

An employee of Zeppet speaks out.

A Zeppet employee expressed how it was difficult to make this dog costume because of the detail needed to make it fit a human body.

Zeppet is a known company in japan that makes costumes for television and sets.

Tokyo expressed a lt of thanks to the company for helping him make his dream come true.

Tokyo says he chose a long-haired dog because "long-haired dogs can mislead human figure"

Zeppet made the mouth open and close by itself and made it extra fluffy to hide the human shell.

He added: ‘There are restrictions, but you can move in it. However, if you move too much, it will not look like a dog.’

People seem to be slipt on this man's decision to be a Collie and spend so much money having a realistic dog costume made. Some people say it's a little weird and not worth the money, but others say he's awesome for fulfilling his dreams.

What do you think about his decision?
