The world was stunned when a Japanese man decided to turn himself into a dog but now he has taken a step further and found himself another 'dog' best friend.

A Japanese man, who is now known as Toco the human Collie, was seen frolicking around with another fellow canine cosplayer who was sporting a husky suit. The friendly walk was shared on Toco's YouTube channel and since it was posted, it has been garnering massive attention.&nbsp;

For the unknown, Toco the human Collie turned into a huge sensation and made headlines after it decided to wear a hyperrealistic custom-made collie suit, worth $14,000.

The man's dog-amorphosis went for walks on all fours, met with real-life canines and carried out stunts which proved that new tricks can be taught to a faux dog.

Japanese man turned dog now gets himself a 'dog' best friend: Watch

The Japanese man who made headlines for spending two million Yen (around $15,000) to transform into a dog has revealed that he wants to be other animals like "a panda, or a bear…A fox or a cat".

Japanese man who spent $15,000 to transform into a dog, now dreams of becoming a panda or cat

A Japanese tourist has died after he bungee jumped 764-feet from a building in Macau, China. The 56-year-old unidentified tourist jumped off the Macau Tower (1,109 foot) — one of the tallest bungee jump platforms in the world and succumbed to complicated medical condition later on.

A Japanese tourist has died after he bungee jumped 764-feet from a building in Macau, China. The 56-year-old unidentified tourist jumped off the Macau Tower (1,109 foot) — one of the tallest bungee jump platforms in the world and succumbed to complicated medical condition later on. According to the NY Post, the man began experiencing shortness of breath after completing the daredevil jump. Before the people nearby could respond, he stopped breathing altogether and had no heartbeat when the first responders arrived. Accessing the gravity of the situation, they transferred the unconscious man to the Conde S. Januario Hospital for emergency treatment where he was later pronounced dead. Hong Kong news outlet HK01 said the thrill seeker did not suffer any superficial injuries to his body during the jump. Also read | Thailand: Tourist recalls horror of how bungee jumping cord snapped, plunging him into water Company offers condolence Skypark by AJ Hackett, the company which runs the bungee jump said it was saddened by the "medical situation" that occurred after the man's jump and offered its deepest condolences to his family. The company also urged all bungee jumpers to clearly specify their medical history prior to a jump. "When our staff received word that he was feeling unwell after landing, they immediately administered first aid and called the authorities for help. The company is cooperating with relevant government departments," it said. Also read | 10 Best Bungee Jumping Places in the World The bungee-jumping spot in Macau opened in 2006 and is only surpassed in height by Zhangjiajie Glass Bridge Bungee measuring at 853 feet. Skypark customers have to shell out $360 to jump off the Macau Tower's observation deck. Notably, the company has been in business for nearly 30 years and operates similar bungee-jumping attractions in Australia, France and Singapore. It claims to have carried out four million successful jumps and that the company has a 'perfect safety record'. Earlier this year in March, a Hong Kong tourist in Thailand nearly lost his life after he bungee jumped off a 10-storey-high podium before the cord came undone, sending him plunging into the water. The man's feet were still tied up by the lower half of the cord, but despite that, he managed to swim to safety. After the incident, the tourist said the experience would have been even worse if he didn't know how to swim. (With inputs from agencies)

Japanese man dies after jumping 764 feet from one of the highest bungee jumping spots

The Japanese man who spent almost $15,000 (two&nbsp;million yen) to look like a border collie using a custom-made hyperrealistic costume has stated that people are 'misinformed' about the idea that he wants to 'live like a dog'.&nbsp;

The man identified as Toco said he only wears the costume as a hobby and that too once a week, mostly at home.&nbsp;&nbsp;

“My desire to be an animal is like a desire to transform…a desire to be something that I am not,” Toco told The New York Post.&nbsp;

When quizzed about the netizens trolling him for his bizarre fetish, Tuco said he was 'sad' about it.&nbsp;

“I’m just sad that people can think that. I&nbsp;love animals and enjoy play-acting like a collie," said Tuco.&nbsp;

“This is my hobby, so I will carry on. It makes me happy and other people happy, too.”

The Japanese said&nbsp;he had not anticipated such a big response for his 'hobby', adding that his family had accepted him with his eccentricity intact.&nbsp;

“The family was surprised but received it favourably.&nbsp;I am very happy that they accepted it.”

<h2>Toco goes viral&nbsp;</h2>

Toco made headlines last month when photos and videos of him wearing the costume, walking on all fours and interacting with other canines went viral across social media platforms. Initially, the public believed that Toco had transformed himself into a dog before it was revealed that he was wearing a costume.&nbsp;

In the videos shared on his YouTube channel with the title ‘I want to be an animal’, Toco was seen taking a walk on the streets and sniffing at other dogs present in a park as well as rolling around on the floor. The video has since garnered nearly 20 million views while his channel's subscriber count has shot up to 51,000.&nbsp;

Toco, giving an introduction on his YouTube channel, explained through a series of written notes translated from Japanese, “Nice to meet you. I became a rough (sic) collie because I wanted to be an animal...Please let me know your request for the video you would like to see in the comments!” 
 
Toco stated that he has been hiding his human identity because he does not want people, who know him, to judge him for his new look.

To look like a 'real-life' wolf, Japanese man splurges whopping amount on costume

Let us take a look at stories generating interest across WION's social media channels.

Trending on WION | Meet Japanese man who earns a living by being rented to 'do nothing'

A bizarre story of a 24-year-old Japanese guy collecting 46.3 million yen ($358,857) in Covid relief payments was published in Japan Today. That sum was supposed to be distributed among 463 homes in Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan, as 100,000 yen (almost $774.76) each.

At the time, the mayor had apologised for the clerical error that had resulted in the miscalculation and was allegedly looking into recovering the funds. However, it has just been discovered that the individual who received the large amount of cash by mistake has vanished!

At the time, the mayor had apologised for the clerical error that had resulted in the miscalculation and was allegedly looking into recovering the funds. However, it has just been discovered that the individual who received the large amount of cash by mistake has vanished!

According to JapanToday, the man began shifting quantities of roughly 600,000 yen every day for about two weeks after discovering the windfall payment in his account on April 8, 2022.&nbsp;

Meanwhile, the Japanese town realised their mistake and set out to find the money. When they discovered where it had gone, they attempted to contact the individual right away but were unsuccessful.

When they finally caught up with him on April 21, 2022, he told them that the money had vanished from his account and that "it could no longer be undone." I'm not going to run. "I shall be held accountable for my wrongdoing."

However, here was the issue. The man had already vanished.

All of this put officials in a tricky legal situation, because they technically gave him the money by mistake, and it wasn't quite theft in the strict meaning of the word.&nbsp;

They sought advice from lawyers and law enforcement, and on May 12, 2022, they finally took action by filing a lawsuit against the individual, seeking 51.16 million yen in compensation for the money he took, plus legal fees.

During the time it took the town to file a lawsuit against the 24-year-old, he cleared out his bank account, quit his job, and moved out of his house.

Needless to say, this clerical error has turned into a circus.
