A woman who identifies as a dog has explained what it’s like to walk in her shoes for a day.
The influencer, known as Meow, spoke about her life as a canine on KIIS FM’s The Kyle & Jackie O Show, telling the hosts she sleeps in a crate, is given dog treats and has ‘handlers’ who look after and ‘walk’ her.
Meow explained she identifies as a Dalmatian and will bark and run on all fours. She explained she prefers to sleep in a crate over a human-sized bed as being in a confined space makes her feel ‘safe’ at night.
The star, who livestreams on gaming platform Twitch, said she is a ‘dog girl’ and couldn’t wait to be able to do what she wanted when she had her own place and made her own money.

She told them: “I think that the wonder that comes with play and just being enchanted with life around you is a beautiful thing. I’m not sure if I ever put two and two together that I had to stop that whenever I became an adult.
“I figured that once I make my own money and pay my own rent, then I can extra do anything I want, and I wanted to be a dog!”
When asked if she has a boyfriend, she says she doesn’t, and has ‘handlers’ who feed her and take her on walks. Meow also clarified it’s a non-sexual relationship between them. They are either her friends or have similar interests.
She explained: “I have handlers. Kind of like dog trainers. They feed me, they take me on walks, and we practice training, which is one of my favorite things because I get treats.”
When it comes to her dog treats, the star said they can be dog biscuits, or jerky and chicken.
Despite response on social media, she doesn’t worry about what people think of her.
Meow said: “I don’t find myself focusing on other people and their reactions toward me because I’m so in the moment of just chasing the ball, being the dog, I want to sit and perform for whoever is my focus.”
