Foreword

In 1994, a little girl was playing in the village of Novi Blagoveshchenka in the Kolson region. Suddenly she felt someone staring at her from a distance. She looked up and saw a strange species in the distance. Her physical features were similar to humans, but her behavior was particularly strange. She crawled on all fours and barked like a puppy. Could this be the legendary dog ​​girl?

This strange phenomenon aroused her curiosity, and she walked forward cautiously, hoping to see more clearly. That strange thing didn't seem to have any malicious intent, sitting there obediently.

The little girl took a closer look and saw that she was really alone, with several puppies beside her. The girl found that the man's hair was long, dirty and messy. Her face was dirty and her clothes were in tatters. In addition, there is a strange and unpleasant smell in the air. The closer we got, the stronger the smell became.

Various phenomena verified the girl's thoughts: This was most likely an abandoned child who was then fed by dogs and grew up. She realized the seriousness of the situation and quickly called the authorities to report the incident.

Having an unfortunate childhood with alcoholic parents

The police received a report and quickly came to the village of Novi Blagoveshchenka in the Kolson region. Here they found the strange girl. After a short discussion, the police decided to take him back to the police station first and then settle him down.

They walked up to the dog girl, hoping to take her away. But the dog girl has been with her puppy friends for eight years, and she has unconditionally trusted and relied on them. Besides, dogs are loyal by nature, and so does she. Therefore, how easy is it to take her away?

The police talked to her and told her the purpose of her trip, but they found that the girl had lost the ability to speak and could not hold a conversation. The police had no choice but to treat her like a puppy.

The police kept stroking her head, comforting her gently and giving her food. In the end, the police finally gained the trust of the dog girl and followed them out of this place.

After settling the dog girl, they investigated the matter.

The dog girl’s real name is Oksana Malaya. Her parents lived in the village where she was found. Her childhood was very miserable.

Because Oksana’s mother liked boys, she was disliked by her mother when she was born. In addition, her parents like to drink alcohol and live with the bottle of wine every day. They will go straight to the liquor cabinet after work every day and get drunk.

Oksana's parents have a bad relationship. Sometimes her father is in a bad mood and will humiliate her mother with embarrassing words, and even punch and kick her. The mother was too weak to resist, so she retaliated by doubling the pain she had suffered on Oksana.

Although Oksana is small, she can feel the malice.

Since her parents spent most of their energy on drinking, they left very little time and care for Oksana. Many of the child's basic needs were difficult to meet. She was often ignored and felt like an orphan. But fortunately, she has a puppy at home, and she can make friends with it.

Research shows that usually 0 to 3 years old is the most important period for children to establish attachment relationships. The so-called "attachment" refers to the initial emotional connection between a person and his mother in infancy.

During this period, mothers should carefully observe their children, accompany and pay attention to their children, and establish a secure attachment relationship with their children. This can enhance the child's sense of security and trust, and is of great help to the child's future growth. However, Oksana was abandoned when she was three years old.

When she was three years old, Oksana was playing alone at the door. Her parents forgot about her existence, closed the door and drank in the room. As expected, they got drunk again this time. Night came quickly, the weather turned cooler, and the coldness invaded Oksana's body. She was still too young to open the closed door.

So she instinctively crawled to the kennel to keep warm with the puppy. Oksana's parents had no idea that their child had disappeared overnight. For them, their lives are unsatisfactory and they have no intention of taking care of a child.

At first Oksana would return to the residence from time to time, but her parents had a bad attitude and she would often get double punishment for small things, so she learned to stay at home as little as possible.

As time went by, Oksana chose to live in a kennel. Although she ate the scraps left by her parents every day, she no longer had to worry.

When the police asked Oksana what happened when she was a child, although she could not tell it, from her painful expression, it could be judged that it was an extremely painful memory.

Lack of companionship and becoming a special child

The police found that Oksana could not speak normally. Whenever someone hurt her, she would only bark or bite like a puppy. But fortunately, she can clearly understand human language, and she always likes to answer all questions with monosyllabic words: "yes" or "no".

Experts believe that this phenomenon of Oksana is normal. Oksana was 11 years old when police found her in 1994, meaning she had been living with the puppy for eight years. During these eight years, because she did not receive proper care, upbringing, and education, she did not develop into a fully capable personality.

Research shows that a child’s language development stage is closely related to her vocal organs, nervous system and life experience.

Generally speaking, when a child is five months old, he can unconsciously call out "dad" and "mom", and then slowly learn other names, such as "grandpa". Children around one and a half years old can basically understand simple conversations between their parents. The golden period for children to learn to speak is generally between one and a half to two and a half years old.. After learning basic skills, the teacher began to teach Oksana counting, reading, writing, and some simple self-service skills.

A few years later, under the careful care of her teacher, although Oksana could not completely get rid of her dog habits, she gradually changed a lot. Time flies and Oksana is about to graduate from Odessa boarding school.

Before graduation, the teacher asked Oksana where she was going. Oksana said that she longed for her father's love and hoped to return to her family. But on graduation day, Oksana suddenly changed her mind and chose to live on a farm, also known as an "adult therapeutic community." Everyone expressed their understanding of this decision.

Everyone knows that Oksana has never experienced father's love or mother's love, and she desperately longs for normal love in her heart. But what happened in her childhood has left a lifelong shadow on her, and it would be of no use even if she went back.

In 2017, Oksana moved to a psychiatric boarding school, where she tried to live as a girl instead of a dog girl.

In her spare time, she likes to stay with small animals and raise the cows and horses on the farm. Sometimes when she is in a particularly happy mood, she will chat with her school friends. Even though her tone of voice is flat, rhythmless, and emotionless when she speaks, everyone is still willing to listen to her.

Because Oksana has always wanted to be treated as a normal person, Oksana is very grateful for the attitude of her friends around her.

If life before was a kind of suffering, then life now is a healing.

It is now 2022, and Oksana has lived on the farm for five years. Now she spends a lot of time communicating with friends, milking cows and cleaning the farm with them. When there is nothing to do in the evening, everyone sits around the campfire, sings, dances and talks about life.

These are things that Oksana had never expected before, and now they appeared before her eyes like a dream. On this farm, she also fell in love with a man, and the two hit it off.

Summary

Home is a channel for conveying love and warmth, but it is also a channel for transmitting hurt. The harm caused by a loved one is the easiest way for a child to lose hope in humanity.

Oksana had an unhappy childhood and had two alcoholic and irresponsible parents. But fortunately, she was helped by everyone in the end, and their appearance made Oksana feel that the future was promising.
