An unusual phenomenon as well as inexplicable for experts is happening recently and has caught the attention of social networks everywhere in the world.
About 1,000 individuals who self-identify as dogs gathered at Berlin's Potsdamer Platz train station in Germany a few days ago as they howled and performed animal instincts on the street. The event had mixed reactions online. Some people expressed support and curiosity, while others criticized them.

This is not the only case, in an observation by IconStyle, we discovered that children and students in schools have chosen to naturally identify as animals, but the source of this desire has so far remained a 'mystery'.
But what is this new phenomenon that is transforming man?
'Otherkin', 'therians' and 'trans-species' are terms used to describe individuals who identify as animals, spiritually or physiologically. Some believe they are a different species entirely, while others think they are partially non-human.
This unusual phenomenon, brought to the attention of "IconStyle", was discussed this afternoon on the show "Invitation to 5", with a professional panel.
Part of the panel was also a doctor who explained the case in question from a scientific point of view.
"It is a discussion that has several levels. This is not a new phenomenon. It is as old as humanity itself. These individuals, who operate online and rarely in public. They are called neopagans or technopagans. This identification shows that this phenomenon was widespread in paganism. Some theories define this phenomenon as a kind of religion. A kind of reincarnation. At the moment, this phenomenon is not classified as a mental illness, but as a delusion," said the doctor.
"It is not a contagious disease," he added, while other members of the panel expressed concern that children are influenced by these models.
