‘Human pup' sleeps in a cage, plays fetch and gets belly rubs from his master - but he draws the line at eating dog food
Lucky, 35, acts as a human pup Oz, 60, wearing a £1,000 latex outfit
Pair live together in Nuneaton, Warwickshire but are not in a relationship
Lucky sleeps in both a bed and a cage made for a Great Dane
But draws the line at eating his meals out of a dog bowl
Lucky and Oz make one odd couple. 35 years old Lucky loves to don skin tight dog suit made of latex and plays puppy tricks with his 60 years old master and even sleeps in a cage. The pair had met three years ago on an online dating site and have been living together since as a pup and master.
Oz had previously been a pup himself and was looking to become a master after retiring. He said: "I found that it did something for me unlike anything I had ever experienced before. All the decisions you have to make, and the things you have to worry about as a human go away. It's like being on a holiday."
Oz is a retired maths teacher and the last school he worked in was in Tamworth. Lucky has two jobs and tries to keep his work life separate from his life as a pup. They often go for walks at night in Nuneaton dressed up but not during the day.
When asked about the reason for dressing up like a dog Lucky said that it helps him battle the stress. This is his way of coping up with the stress his human life gives him.
'I don't eat dog food, I don't normally eat out of a bowl, I go to the toilet like a human,' he said. 'I just find when you are a human pup you have to have certain limits.'
Lucky hasn't told his father about being a pup, but his mother is aware.
'She said "whatever makes you happy, it's not my kind of thing", which is fine,' he explained.'
Oz loves to walk Lucky around as he reminds him of his dog.
Lucky's outfit costs about £1,000 in total and he has named himself after a pup he used to have that died because of heart attack.
'I had a pup called Lucky when I was eight or nine, she was a really good dog and I loved her to bits, she was my first pet,' he recalled.
'It felt like she was more of my friend than my dog.'
'I took her for a walk one day and unfortunately she had a heart attack and died. Having her name is kind of a memorial sort of thing for her.'
'In some ways Lucky is a substitute for a real pup, he will never grow old and is always going to be a playful, young, flirty, friendly pup.'
Lucky has a human bed and a cage and sleeps in both.
'It's a cage for a Great Dane and it's comfortable,' he added.
Oz added: 'My parents know I am gay. They know that we are living together but they don't know why or how, I just don't think they would understand.'
