Man who spent $14K to become a collie changes his mind after realizing it's 'very difficult' to walk like a dog

[GordonBlue]

As the title says. Sucks to be him, eh?

I am not sure of the purpose of this thread. Is it to ridicule him?
He is hurting no one. And TBH, his costume is a work of art. I hope he finds happiness in his next animal venture.

WTF?

Nowt so funny as folk...

Impressive costume and I’m sure lots of people will borrow it

Woof

Shame he didn't practise before getting the suit - he might have known then that walking that way wouldn't work for him.

If I was him I'd just think : fuck it, I've paid fourteen grand. If that doesn't earn me the right to be an upright dog that walks on two legs I don't know what does.

So glad I have that mental image before going to sleep

It is a good costume, though.

He looks really sad in the picture!

I would have thought he'd have been better off imitating an ape that has facultative bipedalism to match his skeletally-determined gait limitations.

Or an ostrich.

Some people have more money than sense 😂 some people are mental

There must be some deep reason why he's not going for easy options like ape or ostrich. Maybe he is only drawn to the impossible.

You think being a bonobo or an ostrich is easy?

He may be able to walk the walk but the shagging and land speed issues would be extraordinarily challenging.

😂 is this for real

Okay maybe not easy as such but easier than being a collie, in musculoskeletal terms.

@SnowFrogJelly yes, real as far as I know. He's got a YouTube channel.

He rented a house! Look!

Tbf he doesn't appear to believe he actually IS a dog. So that's something I guess.

He's a bit of a nutter but harmless I should think.

Hope he has fun with it. Especially considering what he's spent on it.

Yes he appears to want to transform himself as fully as possible while still being aware that he is in a state of transformation. It's almost holy, an altered state, like a physical manifestation of a belief.

I have been on this forum for over a decade and this thread might be my favourite ever already.

I would think walking on 4 legs makes him feel rough , maybe it gave him the Collie wobbles. (The costume is not a border collie, it's a rough collie)

It probably gave him paws for thought.

Perhaps he should buy a a giant version of one of those dog prams and hire someone to push him about.

I am so impressed at that costume!!
It looks like so much fun!

Who 'picks up' after him, I wonder?
