Loving a dog is one thing, living a dog's life is quite another!

Meet Matthews, a 47-year-old unemployed IT technician in Pittsburgh who is happily living a dog's life, quite literally.

He, apparently, dresses up as a dog by putting on a shaggy dog costume and goes around running on all fours, eating food out of a bowl, and chasing cars. "The 6-foot pretend pooch also sleeps inside a giant doghouse he keeps in his human abode. He also has a special doggie costume made from paper," Oddity Central reports.

Matthews has loved dogs. It was the Disney comedy "The Shaggy D.A." that first pointed him to the possibilities of living abnormally as a mutt impersonator.

Initially, he called  himself  "Pongo, after the " the alpa male in "101 Dalmatians." At the age of 12, he became a fan of "Here's Boomer," a short-lived NBC series.

"I liked Boomer's sense of adventure, seeing new towns and meeting different people every week, and helping them with their problems," Matthews wrote on his website dedicated bizarre lifestyle. "I even planned to go tramping when I got out of school, and live with other street dogs and go adventuring with them.”
Truly, it’s a crazy, crazy world!
