Dreams hold different expectations and hopes for different people. For this Japanese man, his dream conformed to a particular physiology. Twitter user Toko-san (@toco_eevee) fulfilled his long standing dream of looking like an animal when he transformed himself into a 'Collie', a breed of dogs.

He was able to undergo his transformation with the assistance of a professional agency called Zeppet. According to local reports, Zeppet produces costumes seen on Japanese TV, mascot characters and provides sculptures for movies and commercials. The particular costume of the 'Collie' for Toko reportedly cost more than ₹ 12 lakhs (2 million Yen) and took 40 days to make.

Toko spoke to news.mynavi about why he chose a Collie, to which he said, 'I made it a collie because it looks real when I put it on my taste and costume. 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.' 

The interviewer even asked him whether he could move his limbs freely, to which Toko said, 'There are restrictions, but you can move it. However, if you move it too much, it will not look like a dog.'

Toko who has his own YouTube channel was seen asking viewers for 'requests for the video you would like to see.' It is very difficult to locate a picture of Toko outside of his dog costume.
