This little girl was apparently abandoned in a condemned apartment by her mother and the girl was basically raised by a bunch of dogs. So barks and bites and jumps just like a dog and she also walks around on all fours.
Apparently the dogs really did take her in and care for her and feed her and keep her warm.
Here is a story about it.
But the weirdest part is that if you type “Raised by ...” into google, you get some truly strange options.
Oh, and apparently this whole raised by animals things happens all the time in Russia because I found like three other stories about it. This is totally why we won the Cold War, right?

TLC did a whole special about feral children. It happens more than one would think, particularly in Russia. The sad part is these kids never get better. They missed out on that crucial period of brain development so they will never live a normal life. In fact, I think on the show none of them lived much past their 20s. It's sad, but totally fascinating.
I just recently read a fascinating book on child development called "The Boy Who Was Raised as a Dog."
it was completely riveting, compassionate and very informative. Sadly it does happen often and it can affect parts of the brain. The book does show how therapy helped this young boy and how he is still living a semi normal life today. Thank fully there is hope for these young feral children, if they get the right kind of help early enough.
