Russian Dog Girl was raised by family pets

A 5-year-old girl behaving like a dog has caused a dramatic sensation in Russia. The girl was taken into care from her home in a Siberian city after child welfare workers found her in a filthy appartment, unwashed and barking.

She´d been living with her father and grandfather, but they had never allowed her to go outside, causing her to be more at ease with the family´s dogs than with humans. The girl is unable to speak and can only bark.

‘For about five years the girl was ‘brought up’ by several dogs and cats and not once went outside,’ a statement from the child care workers said. The child has been taken into care, but is still showing dog behavior, such as lapping up her food, barking and jumping up at people.

The family is facing criminal charges.
