The man has shared several videos on his Youtube channel, where he boasts nearly 33,000 subscribers. The footage shows Toco rolling on the floor and playing fetch.
The man recently posted a video of himself stepping out in public for the very first time. Bystanders were in awe of the human collie. In the five-minute video, Toco can be seen interacting with people and other dogs. Toco said that the video was filmed last year during an interview with German TV station RTL.
“Thankfully, I received permission to use the videos, so I am releasing them to the public! On the day of the interview, they were very kind to me,” Toco wrote in the description.
“Do you remember your dreams from when you are little? You want to be a hero or a wizard,” he wrote in the clip.
In the video, Toco can be seen behaving like a four-legged furball. Some dogs initially showed fear after approaching the human dog.
Toco has chronicled his journey on his YouTube channel. He has not revealed his identity yet in public.
In a video uploaded last year, Toco answered a series of questions. He admitted he always “had a vague dream of becoming an animal” ever since he was a child, New York Post reported.
