A woman who claims she is a human dog has revealed that she loves performing tricks for other people so she can have a treat.
Milk Luv, as she’s known online, adopted the unique lifestyle while in college.
She now identifies as a Pomeranian.

The 20-year-old often meets up with friends – acting as her handler – to take part in “puppy play” which involves running around, chasing a ball and of course, doing tricks for treats.
And despite weird looks in public, nothing irks her more than when people mistake her for a cat.
“Some people meow at me, which is annoying,” the Twitch streamer told Need To Know.
“It’s obvious that I’m a dog.
“One afternoon, when I was getting ice cream, a guy howled at me from his car.
“I’m not hurting anybody, so I don’t get why anyone has a problem with it.”
Milk, who doesn’t wish to disclose her location in the US, grew up besotted with her Jack Russell, Monty.
When playing with him, she wished to be a dog, too.
As she got older, anime shows and alternative fashion were her two passions.
She started dressing as a pirate, then a goth and then a hippie; but nothing seemed to identify with her.
It was until scrolling TikTok that she found her calling.
Milk said: “A girl was wearing a little dog-ear headband.
“She explained that she was a kemonomini – a Japanese term used to refer to someone who accessorises with animal-like features.
“I loved the way she looked and her bubbly personality; so I tried it out for myself.”
Milk purchased a pair of black fluffy ears and a tail for £36.
She debuted her new look at a party the following day, where her friends loved the new persona.
Her family, including her sister and dad, were also on board.
But her mum wasn’t keen on the idea one bit.
She said: “My mum thought it was cute, but said that she wished I wouldn’t wear my ears and tail while out in public.
“I had to accept that I couldn’t embrace myself everywhere.”
Since then, Milk has only expanded her puppy wardrobe, spending £293 in total on her look, including a hyper motion tail that wags as she walks.
Her parents also buy her chew toys as gifts, with Milk’s next mission to get a £500 set of fangs installed over her teeth.
She’s also made friends through the lifestyle, who have encouraged her to become a full-time “puppy girl”.
Now, she’s given one of her “kemonomini” mates the role of being her handler.
Each week, they get together at her house to play with chew toys and do tricks, such as rolling over, which are rewarded with pats on her head and treats.
She added: “For me, it’s nothing sexual at all.
“It’s a way for me to show platonic affection.
“People find it quite embarrassing when I wear my ears and tail around their friends and family.
“But I don’t care what other people think – I’m having a blast.
“My dating life has actually been easier, since people already know what they’re getting into.
“It’s a dog’s life and I love it.”
