There is a group of men that likes to dress up in rubber dog costumes. This new fetish trend is catching on in the UK.
Cenk Uygur,
Ana Kasparian, and
Ben Mankiewicz, hosts of
The Young Turks, break it down.

“
It’s easy to laugh at a grown man in a rubber dog suit chewing on a squeaky toy.
Maybe too easy, in fact, because to laugh is to dismiss it, denigrate it – ignore the fact that many of us have found comfort and joy in pretending to be animals at some
point in our lives.
Secret Life of the
Human Pups is a sympathetic look at the world of pup play, a movement that grew out of the
BDSM community and has exploded in the last 15 years as the internet made it easier to reach out to likeminded people. While the pup community is a broad church, human pups tend to be male, gay, have an interest in dressing in leather, wear dog-like hoods, enjoy tactile interactions like stomach rubbing or ear tickling, play with toys, eat out of bowls and are often in a relationship with their human “handlers”
.
In the documentary, we see Tom,
AKA Spot, take part in the Mr
Puppy Europe competition in
Antwerp, a mix of beauty pageant, talent show and Crufts;
David, AKA Bootbrush, talk to camera in a leather dog mask; two pups walk through
London pretending to wee on lampposts to raise awareness of their identity; and lots of men jumping up for “treats”, barking and wagging their mechanical tails.”
