The foundation myth of Rome is based on the story of brothers, Romulus and Remus, who were abandoned and saved by a she-wolf, who suckled and saved the pair. This story is myth but the following stories are true.
The Dog Girl
Oxana Malaya was unfortunate enough to have neglectful, alcoholic parents. When she was three years of age, her parents left her outside one night and she crawled into the kennel where the dogs were kept, seeking comfort. As nobody looked for her or even noticed her absence, this is where she stayed until she was eight years old, eating scraps of meat and mimicking her dog family.
By the time a neighbour reported that a human was living like a dog, Oxana Malaya was eight years old and walking on all fours and eating in the manner of a dog.
Now years later, the tomboyish young woman can talk, albeit in a strangely flat and odd way. She has a pet dog now but is mostly uninterested in it.
The Monkey Boy
John Ssabunnya ran into the jungle when he was about three years of age after his father murdered his mother and then hung himself. African green monkeys soon adopted the abandoned orphan.
The boy was only discovered when a girl was attacked by the green monkeys while collecting firewood in 1998. The girl then noticed another strange creature with the monkey group, with hair all over its body and long mattered hair hanging from its head.
As it turned out, this was John Ssabunnya, who had been living with the monkeys all this time.
These days, he is able to speak and sings in a choir.
