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?

Is this fur real??
He is pawsitively barking!
Now this is what I come on MN for 😆
I'll come back to this thread when I'm having a woof day...

The costume is incredible but his slow and laboured walking (and inability to get on the sofa) made me feel very sad for him.

Wtf is this all about?

Is he a furry and wandering about with a constant boner in this thing?

Sounds ruff
(I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself)

I wonder how he greets other dogs.

Ye Gods and little fishes, as my mother would say.
Roughly translated as: you can't fix stupid 🤣🤣

Any surgeons who do this sort of work need striking off..

First do no harm

Barking mad.

Nowt queer as folk, and a fool and his money are easily parted.

Poor guy.

At least he didn’t get surgery like many people do (especially women) and risk their lives over it.

It’s ridiculous anyway that’s just a very creative and imaginative person that needs a new outlet

He is hurting no one

Tell that to the squirrels.

That implies that being a furry is a choice... Or is this man furry species fluid?

I'm guessing he doesn't have a girlfriend.

The video of him attempting the agility course is hilarious.

Not a border collie but a rough collie. The two are quite different. Rough collies recognise their own breed and play really well. Don't know what mine would do if she met a giant roughie though! It is a brilliant costume though!

Oh that clip of him trying to jump hurdles 😂

100% for effort Toco!

Grim. Probably a fetish thing, though these men rarely admit to it.

Is he walking on his knees with his legs tucked up behind him? Or are his knees tucked up to his chest?

Either way, I think he just needs more practice.

More practice?! He'd completely bugger himself up. We've evolved to walk upright on two feet!

The poor real dog in the video looks totally (and understandably) freaked out.

Sniffs their bums presumably while they do the same to him.

To be honest, I'm surprised that more furries don't identify as bonobos. Then they could greet each other with, erm, bonobo love while staying in character.

They could be mostly vegan but have the odd kebab, go for the cushy bipedal life, insinuate themselves into other people's sexual relationships and social circles, and get someone to clean their furry suit under the guise of societal cohesion. Win win.

@QuantumPanic looking at his (dog) back legs, they appear quite bulky so I think his (human) legs are tucked up, with his feet on the floor.

I think he overplays his lack of ability though. I mean I think he wants to fuck things up and not be able to do them.

There's no sense of commitment to the role these days. When I was young I built a puissance course in our garden, and I absolutely WAS a showjumping course with some considerable agility skills on show - so much so that I was selected for the school athletics team in the high jump discipline.
