A Canadian man has left his wife at home to travel the world with six sex dolls for company.

Dave Hockey, 57, insists his wife "doesn't mind" about his $25,470 bizarre trip of a lifetime, reported The Sun.

So far, he has traveled with his fake girlfriends across the UK and North America, taking in Stonehenge, the Grand Canyon and Niagara Falls.

The dad-of-two said, "My wife understands it is a hobby. She isn't threatened by the dolls, and she knows I'm not going to run off with a piece of silicone shaped like a woman."

He filmed a seven-week road trip across America, from his home in Nova Scotia to San Diego, meeting other doll owners for his own documentary.

And during the holiday, Bianca, a $3,200 silicone doll, was taken sky-diving, horseback riding and for on the back of a Harley Davidson. Hockey has even bought glamorous outfits for the dolls, 18 wigs, plus several pairs of stilettos.

He added, "I purchased my first dolls in November 2006. They looked cute. I think the dolls are pretty - any man is lying if he says they aren't."

His collection includes life-size dolls Jessica, Gabrielle, Jocelyn, Lilly, Ruby, Jenny, and Bianca, and the slightly smaller "Teddy Babes" Carley, Samantha, Diana, Miyuki, Jessica, Janelle and Nita.
