Toco shared his latest update in a heartwarming YouTube video.
He told his fans: “I became a collie, fulfilling a dream I had since I was a little child to be an animal.”
“Today I am going to go outside and take a walk,” he continued. “I’m thrilled.”
He is then seen walking around his house with his food and water bowls, before unclipping his leash from the wall.
Toco’s walking style is a little more stilted than a real-life collie, but he still enjoys his gentle stroll around the neighbourhood.

Toco has previously spoken to the Mirror, explaining that he keeps his hobby hidden from friends and family.
“I rarely tell my friends because I am afraid they will think I am weird. My friends and family seemed very surprised to learn I became an animal,” he says.
He goes on: “Since childhood, I have had this unspecific fantasy of becoming an animal. I wonder whether it was a desire for transformation.”
