Being crazy doesn’t hurt, the wisdom goes, and in the case of the American Meow Dalyn it even results in dog biscuits. The eccentric young lady claims to identify as a Dalmatian, wears a collar, sleeps in a crate and acts out.
The American Meow Dalyn, who has 15,000 followers on the streaming platform Twitch, was a telephone guest on Thursday in the Australian radio program The Kyle and Jackie O Show, where she talked about her bizarre lifestyle. “My name is Meow like a cat, but I’m a dog,” she tells the hosts. When asked why she calls herself Meow, she answers that she thinks it’s a funny joke. “It’s like having a little chihuahua and calling it Hercules.”
Wearing two fake dog ears on her head and a collar, Dalyn said she calls herself a ‘dog girl’ and ‘e-puppy’ and has completely changed her lifestyle. For example, she says she sleeps in a dog crate every night with pastel-colored blankets and pillows. “Being in such a private space gives me a safe feeling, it feels like comfort,” she explains her unusual habit. “I thought that once I made my own money and paid my own rent, I could do anything I wanted. And I wanted to be a dog,” she says.

Dylan says that she is “117 dog years” old and that she does not have a partner, but she does have “handlers”, owners or trainers who feed and walk her. “We also do dog training, which I really enjoy because I get treats.” The pink-haired lady claims that she also eats real dog food, albeit supplemented with “human ingredients and spices” to make the otherwise bland meals a bit tastier.
Human toilet in the rain
On Twitch you can see how she regularly plays fetch or chews on a bone. When asked by the presenter whether she also relieves herself outside, she answers affirmatively. Except when it rains: “Then I go to the human toilet.”
She says it doesn’t bother her that there are a lot of eyes on her when she goes outside like a dog. “As a dog, I am too ‘in the moment’ for that,” she explains. She believes that there is a “primeval animal” in everyone. “It’s part of our humanity,” she says. “Recognizing my primal, animal side almost makes me feel more human.”
