Meet Boomer, the dog trapped in a human body: Unemployed IT technician, 47, roams Pittsburgh dressed as a canine and barking at passing cars

Like many other dogs, Boomer loves nothing more than roaming his neighborhood, barking at passing cars and fellow canines before returning home for a bowl of biscuits and a nap in his kennel.

The only difference is that Boomer was born a human.

Gary Matthews, 47, has been living the life of a playful pooch for years - donning a white-and-grey costume made from paper with an over-sized collar proudly displaying his new name.

[MrB]

Born human, “identifies as” dog.

[Yossarian]

Unemployment does strange things to some people...He should be barking at the White House!

I agree, and although this is over the line, it beats suicide by a long mile.

John Stuart Mill said it elegantly: "You had might as well take away a man's life as deprive him of his means of earning bread."

Stop immigration now. It is killing us - literally - in the IT and Semiconductor industries....

[GeronL]

Just an alternative lifestyle?

[big'ol_freeper]

Ah, another potential government employee

[TurboZamboni]

The MSM beat him to the goal of humping Obama’s leg.

[dblshot]

Well at least he hasn’t stooped as low as being a cat.

Though I have to say, I have been in Pittsburgh a LOOOOONG time, and I have never, ever seen this guy.

Generally our street crazies make themselves eminently visible downtown.

[hal ogen]

Has this guy been checked-out??? Isn’t he the mayor of Pittsburgh or, at least, the head of the DIMocRAT party?

[wally_bert]

Most of what I see hired and working anywhere in support land are Petes. They seem to be preferred by state agencies.

"Has this guy been checked-out??? Isn’t he the mayor of Pittsburgh or, at least, the head of the DIMocRAT party?"

My guess is he is a "Stillers" fan and lost a bet with a "Browns" fan and is "paying up"...

[struggle]

Who are you to tell him what to feel.... </s>

Are we really sure he didn't head up the development of the Obamacare website?

[CrazyIvan]

It’s Jerry Mathers that’s the beaver. Had me confused for a second.

[DannyTN]

Someone should have the dog catcher show up and haul him away to the pound.

[caww]

...."This guy is way out there"....

Reminds me of this guy

[cripplecreek]

It puts the Obamacare on its skin or it gets the hose again.

[caww]

The nut even eats dog food! Has his own dog house! True candidate for an asylum
