‘In the final test, I was in awe of my transformed mirror self. It was a moment when my dream came true.

The mystery shopper was delighted with the end result of his order, praising the specialist company for its design and craftsmanship.
He said: “My command to ‘look like a real wolf walking on hind legs’ was difficult to say the least, but the entire costume looked exactly as I envisioned it to.”
“Not only did the specifications perfectly cover all my preferences, but the ventilation slot for wearer comfort and the devices that allow the wearer to put it on without assistance showed me that the designers paid a lot of attention to wearer comfort.”
It is not the first time that the Japanese firm has fulfilled such a peculiar order, since it previously made international news with another of its creations.
Last year, another Japanese man had similar aspirations to become a four-legged animal.
The man, who gave his name as Toko, spent two million yen (£12,500) on a dog costume.
Zeppet told local media that they enhanced the ‘fluffiness’ of the fur to hide the dog’s shell and made the mouth open and close on its own.
A Zeppet employee commented on how difficult it was to create the actual animal due to the amount of detail required to create a dog suit that would fit the human body.
It went viral in Japan and was featured on local news and TV, where Toko can be seen rolling onto her back and trying on the suit for the first time.
Zeppet spent 40 days custom-making Collie’s costume.
After completing the outfit, Toko posted the photos of himself online with a chaperone. video on YouTube.
He wrote: ‘I made it a Collie because it looks real when I put it on.
“I thought a large animal my size would be nice, considering it would be a realistic model, so I decided to make it a dog.”
