Recently, a Japanese man named "Toco" has attracted the attention of netizens. He posted his daily life as a shepherd dog on social platforms**, but in fact, he was wearing a set of high** animal holsters, and chose to pretend to be a dog in order to escape from reality. His behavior was ridiculed and despised by some people, and also won the admiration and support of some people.
His story also provokes people to think about the phenomenon of "abstract life". From playing games in live broadcasts to playing dogs in live broadcasts, his life trajectory is surprising It is understood that "Toco-san" was originally an ordinary office worker, busy with work every day, but with a meager income and high pressure in life. His only pastime is curled up in his chair after work to play "Pokémon" or watch other people play games live. Later, he also tried to start a live broadcast on his own, but he didn't have any popularity and failed to make money.
By chance, he remembered his childhood dream of becoming a dog. He thinks that dogs are the happiest animals in the world, as long as they play with their owners every day, eat and sleep, and do not have to bear all kinds of social pressures. So, he made up his mind to make his dream come true. After several years of hard work and frugal life, he finally saved enough two million yen to find Japan's largest private custom high-end animal holster company "zeppet", and customized a set of shepherd dog holsters with "high ** human body full coverage pure original dog hair", and started his new "dog life".
In order to record his experience as a dog, he began to post his daily life on the live Pokémon account, and the avatar was also changed to his own "**his** content, including rolling, holding a ball, shooting table tennis, etc., are all his imitation of dog behavior." His move quickly attracted the attention of many netizens, some people thought he was cute, some people thought he was funny, and some people thought he was very nervous. He wants to find friends of his kind, but finds himself unpopular with dogs Although "Toco-san" has become popular online, he is not content to entertain himself at home. He wants to find his true kind and play with the other dogs. He didn't want to go to the alphabet circle to play "Ace Love", or find someone to play a dog with him, but he really wanted to find a "kind" to make friends.
This wish of his was soon supported by a German **. They invited "Toco-san" to be interviewed, and agreed to let the hostess lead him to the street to find a "companion". This time, he wore his own sheepdog holster, walked on the streets of Germany, and interacted with the host like a real dog, such as holding the ball thrown by the owner with his mouth, listening to the command to roll, etc. His movements and posture have also become very fluid, making it difficult to tell if he is a real dog or not. However, when he meets real dogs, he finds himself unpopular with them. He met three dogs in succession, all of whom took great interest in him, but when they went up and sniffed him, they all seemed to feel like they had been stepped on by their tails, and they even crawled away from him, saying that they would not come any closer.
Maybe in the dog group, there is also such a thing as the "uncanny valley effect". Compared to dogs, "toco-san" standing on the street is obviously more popular with passers-by. He was photographed, touched, kissed and even tried to be taken away by the crowd of onlookers. But none of this is what he wants, and his dream of "making friends of the same kind" is completely stranded. His story provokes people to think, is he a madman or a brave man? When this interview ** was released, it exploded on the Internet. The number soon surpassed 7 million. Many people are admiring "the world is big, there are no wonders", but also for "TOCO-san" to pay the highest respect. They believe that "Toco-san" is a brave person who dares to pursue his dreams, dare to face all difficulties, and dare to do what he wants to do. His story also gave them some inspiration and encouragement. Of course, there are also some people who do not understand and disagree with the behavior of "Toco-san".
They believe that "Toco-san" is a madman who chooses to pretend to be a dog in order to escape from reality, regardless of his identity and dignity. His behavior is not only irresponsible to himself, but also disrespectful to society. His story also made them feel worried and vigilant. Whether for or against, the story of "Toco-san" has provoked people to think about the phenomenon of "abstract life". In this fast-paced, high-stress era, people have their own way of releasing stress and finding joy. Some people choose traditional entertainment methods such as games, movies, etc., while others choose more special methods, such as pretending to be a dog, a cat, a doll, etc. Can these methods really bring happiness to people? 
Does it really bring happiness to people? Are there potential risks and hazards? Does it affect people's normal social interactions and mental health? There are no simple answers to these questions, and there is no unified standard. Different people have different choices, different reasons, and different feelings. Perhaps, we should not generalize, nor can we judge arbitrarily, but should respect everyone's individuality and choices, and at the same time pay attention to their needs and predicaments, and give them appropriate help and guidance. 
The story of "TOCO-san" is just a microcosm of the phenomenon of "abstract life". In this era of pluralism and individualization, there are more people who express their thoughts and emotions in more ways and find their own belonging and identity. They may be different, they may be pioneers, they may be confused, they may be lonely, they may be happy, they may be painful. Their stories deserve to be heard, pondered, and understood.
