Boomer The Dog Still Doing The Damn "I'm A Human Living As A Dog" Thang

Huff Po – Some people are animal lovers, but Gary Matthews would love to be an animal. Specifically a dog. Matthews, 47, is an unemployed IT technician in Pittsburgh who figures if he has one life to live, let it be as a furry canine. Whenever he’s got the chance — usually when he’s home with family and friends — he puts on a shaggy dog costume and becomes his alter ego“Boomer.” Matthews loves running around on all fours, eating food out of a bowl, and chasing cars. The 6-foot pretend pooch also sleeps inside a giant doghouse he keeps in his human abode. He also has a special doggie costume made from paper, Oddity Central reported.  As long as Matthews can remember, he’s loved dogs. It was the Disney comedy “The Shaggy D.A.” that first pointed him to the possibilities of living abnormally as a mutt impersonator. At first, he named himself after “Pongo,” the alpa male in “101 Dalmatians.” At the age of 12, he became a fan of “Here’s Boomer,” a short-lived NBC series about a fluffy hound helpful to people he meets. “I liked Boomer’s sense of adventure, seeing new towns and meeting different people every week, and helping them with their problems,” Matthews wrote on his website dedicated bizarre lifestyle. “I even planned to go tramping when I got out of school, and live with other street dogs and go adventuring with them. “I looked up to Here’s Boomer and picked up some of his personality and behaviors.When I bark, what you hear is the result of listening to my TV tapes and learning Boomer’s voice from the soundtrack. Things like that have combined with my personality to make me a better dog.”

Boomer The Dog still at it! We first brought you this lunatic back in 2010 when he was trying to get his name legally changed. Looks like he’s still fighting that battle but he’s still been living as a newspaper sheep dog for the past 3 years.

I have a question – can we trade Gary Matthews to the Cat People? This is such Cat People behavior. I’d trade this fucking wack job for like 5 Cat Ladies just to make sure he stops tarnishing the image of Dog Lovers. Like addition by subtraction when you trade your team cancer who keeps making headlines breaking the law and shit. Just get him out of the locker room. Thats how I feel about Gary Matthews. Sure, dude – we’d all love to be a dog. Lay around all day with no responsibility eating and sleeping and just hangin out. But there’s only one asshole who tries to actually do that by dressing up in shreds of newspaper and that’s you. Barf from Spaceballs was a better dog, you fucking idiot.

PS – There’s no doubt this dude pulled that Marilyn Manson “remove a rib” move so that he can lick himself.
