This strange man was so preoccupied with whether or not he could do this that he apparently never stopped to think if he should:

A Japanese man who spent more than $20,000 to become a dog has finally taken his first walk and immediately made some canine friends.

Known only as Toco, the man spent two million Yen (A$22,000) on a hyperrealistic border collie costume to fulfil his lifelong dream of "becoming an animal".

That's quite a "lifelong dream." Lots of kids hold hopes of being astronauts or firefighters. Our man Toco here wanted to be a dog. Okay then.

And how is it working out for him? You be the judge:

This dude spent 20 grand and at best he looks like a creepy nightmare dog with arthritis:

The other dogs were not having it:

Toco, meanwhile, has never been shy about his ultimate ambition:

"I remember writing in my grade school graduation book that I wanted to be a dog and walk outside."

Well, uh, congratulations, bud, you finally fulfilled your dream. Good boy, I guess.
