“We used photos of collies shot from different angles, enhanced the fluffiness of the coat to hide the shell of the costume as much as possible, and made the mouth open and close by itself,” a Zeppet spokesperson said. “At present, our company’s main customers are film and advertising companies; individual orders account for about 10% of the total.”【お客様の声 追加】 ご依頼いただいたお客様に、アンケートにお答えいただきました

Taco’s unusual story went viral in Japan late last month, and was even featured on national television shows, like NIPPON TV’s ‘Sôkai jôhô variety Sukkiri!!’. On social media, feedback has been inconclusive, with some people struggling to understand his desire to live as a dog, and others saying that, as long as he doesn’t hurt anyone, what he does is solely his business.
“I felt it was a waste to wear it alone and be satisfied, so I posted a video,” Taco said when asked why he started sharing photos and videos of himself wearing the dog costume. “I didn’t expect it to have such an impact, though.”
When asked why he wanted to live as an animal, Taco said that it was ‘difficult’ to answer.
