"City Center Overrun by Dog-Identifying Humans: Chaos Ensues"

Hundreds of people who identify as dogs gathered in Berlin, communicating through howling and barking, prompting calls for "animal control" from online critics. This unconventional meet-up follows the viral sensation of Toco, a man in Japan fulfilling his dream of becoming a dog by purchasing a hyperrealistic suit. Experts differentiate between "therians," who identify as creatures other than human, and "furries," who enjoy cosplaying in animal suits. Animal-like behavior has also been fetishized as "puppy play," a BDSM kink that can be lucrative for some OnlyFans models.
