In the TV show Frasier, the adorable little dog Eddie was played by two Jack Russell Terriers: Moose and his son Enzo.

This man isn't alone in this pursuit; it seems there is a subculture of people who think they are animal spirits in human bodies. But don't mix them up with furries, mostly fetishists who dress up for sexual pleasure. Don't even get it twisted.
