You might have heard of people not feeling comfortable clad in the body of a male or a female. They undergo necessary procedures and embrace their true selves. But have you ever heard of a man saying he’s unhappy in the body of a human and instead wishes to be ‘a dog’?
No, that’s not a lame question!
Kaz James, a store manager from Salford, Greater Manchester says that he ‘never felt like a human’. He felt ‘weird’ and ‘unrelatable’ to the human race until he let his ‘pup persona’ out in front of the world in his late teens.
The 37-year-old, now, lives his life after work as a ‘human pup’. He gets into his ‘true self’ by donning a £2,000 (Rs. 1.8 lakh) fur suit, customised rubber outfits, masks, dog leads and harnesses.
Just like a canine, he eats his food from a dog bowl and also barks at strangers and ‘fellow pups’ on the streets.
“My whole lifestyle is about being a pup,’ Kaz said to Mail Online. “I go about and live my day-to-day life relatively normally. That includes things like putting collars on and at barking at people I know in the street,” he added.
“It’s very much a form of self-expression, what I choose to wear depends on what I’m doing. I feel a sense of peace being a human pup. Little things make me happy like eating my dinner out of a bowl using a knife and fork.”
It’s quite complicated to understand but as far as the ‘human pup’ is happy, we are happy! Live and let live, people, don’t judge!
