A Japanese man who became famous for turning himself into a dog now has a new human friend who is also canine cosplayer.
Toco the human Collie previously made headlines after he fulfilled his his childhood dream of “becoming an animal” by spending $14,000 (2 million yen or £11,000) on a hyperrealistic, custom-made border collie suit.
In previous videos uploaded to YouTube, Toco can be seen playing in public, learning new tricks and interacting with people as well as actual dogs.
But recently, he has met someone else who likes to dress up as an Alaskan Malamute and the pair of pooches can be seen high-fiving, petting, and playing with one another in the latest YouTube video.
Proving to be besties, the dogs also shook each other’s paws, rolled over and even used a chew toy to play tug-of-war with each other.
No details have been provided as to the identity of the person in the Alaskan Malamute suit.
