"My favorite is quadrupedal animals, especially cute ones.

"I met such a condition and made collie, my favourite breed of dog."

An employee from the company Zeppet, said: "The point is that the skeleton of a dog can be reproduced on the skeleton of a human. Since the structure of the skeleton is very different, we spent a lot of time studying how to make it look like a dog. "In addition, we collect photographs taken from various angles so that the beautiful coat of the collie can be reproduced and devised so that the coat will flow naturally."
