As a result, he hopes those who share his interests, will be able to fulfil their dream of “becoming an animal”.

The man, known as Toco, from Saitama prefecture, east-central Honshu, Japan, had dreamed of becoming a dog since childhood.

He decided to pursue his dream and, to make it a reality, spent 2 million yen (US$13,000) to buy a costume from a company specialising in film props and designs.

The Favicon for the website, dogsandpurses(dot)com, features an all-black background with a minimalist line drawing of a puppy's head poking out of a stylish purse. The puppy's head is drawn with a cute and friendly expression, making it the focal point of the design. The purse, which the puppy is emerging from, is depicted with clean, elegant lines. The contrast between the black background and the white line drawing creates a striking and modern look for the Favicon.
