A viral video documenting the gathering showcased attendees communicating through barking and whistling with each other. The video quickly gained traction online, prompting various responses from netizens.
One user commented, "Problems with an overemphasis on flaunting genders, orientations, personalities, etc. Just be natural and identify as a human; it's more than enough."
Another user took a more sarcastic tone, writing, "Call animal control and give them their rabies doses."
A third user questioned the participants' choice to wear masks, stating, "But if they identify as dogs, why do they put on masks?"
This unconventional canine gathering follows the viral fame of Toco, a person in Japan who, having acquired a hyper-realistic suit valued at $14,000, is now fulfilling a lifelong dream of living as a dog.
