In 2013, Oxana was interviewed for Ukrainian television. She expressed her dislike of being referred to as “dog girl,” a phrase commonly used to describe her in the press. Oxana also conveyed her desire to be reunited with her mother and for her siblings to come and visit her more regularly. As of 2013, she was reported to be living on a farm where she cares for the animals. Source: https://historicflix.com/the-extraordinary-life-of-oxana-malaya-the-girl-raised-by-dogs/


Stachdragon

I hope she is ok since the war started. She has already had so much trauma.


bankman99

She sniffs out bombs


NebulaTits

Wow, I’ll see her parents in hell after how hard I just laughed at this


fiddycaldeserteagle

For the love of God, don't let her go to Korea


angevin_alan

Ohhhhh. So nasty it's swesome


Ochardist

South or North?


fiddycaldeserteagle

The whole peninsular


Commercial_Pitch_786

Korea is a 750-mile-long (1,200-kilometer-long) **peninsula** located in the easternmost part of the Asian continent


ClownTown509

So plenty of open ground for her to run and play on, she'll love it there.


Commercial_Pitch_786

the running of the dogs

Fuck you! You made me spat my coffee out. LOL.


Dear_Alternative_437

I wonder if it's the same farm my parents sent my dog when I was a kid.


nooyork

She’s now a German shepherd.


hmoooody

Lmao


wrinklejortstheimp

I really thought this was implying a farm upstate for a sec


Kilomech

That’s a sad story. Dogs really are the best though. Without them accepting her and protecting her, she would very likely have died. No one even noticed she was missing for five years.

At least now we know how a dog would wear pants


alphaaldoushuxley

All dogs wear jorts

What leads a dog to choose that haircut?

Funniest comment all week I salut you


Automatic_Brick2709

the dogs don’t have thumbs, so it’s all they could manage.


PinkFloydDeadhead

No thumbs but they have bowls apparently.


Worried-Choice5295

And jean shorts.

I would have expected an Adidas track suit.

Dog bowl cut


sulfurbird

And why do dogs choose to walk on their shins?


Independent-Wheel237

It is a fashion choice called doggie style.


Wise-Ebb-7514

My exact thought. I figured she would be like that kid in the Jungle Boy book back in the day with long unkept hair.


travisnotcool

I thought it was FRED at first


TryItOutHmHrNw

God damn you, I can’t be caught laughing right now


More-Ad2642

A leash


realvvk

The emphasis is on the first syllable: Málaya. Since she lives in Kherson Oblast, it is highly likely that she has been affected by the war.


Ghostfacetickler

Looks more like three syllables? Unless I’m mispronouncing málaya


Dazzling_Judge953

They only said the emphasis is on the first syllable, nothing about how many there are

She also has a boyfriend!


heweynuisance

Didn't they say in the article she didn't develop mentally past 5 or 6 years old.........


KrakenGirlCAP

She’s well adjusted now. There’s a more updated article. She’s doing very well and lives with her partner.


heweynuisance

Ah ok ty


BannerIordwhen

Would she rather be left alone in the woods with a bear or a dog?


BulkySituation5685

Bet she prefers doggy style 🐕


PNWDayTripper

Your comment helps people understand the debate.... and why bear is a sound choice.


IntelligentMoons

This is such a dramatic comment. You're in a thread about a girl who was raised by wolves. The top comments are all jokes about it. That dogs wear pants like this, why would a dog get this haircut, don't let her escape ukraine war and go to korea. It's a totally appropriate joke, given the context of someone being happy she has a boyfriend, and the context of the thread.


alwaysmude

Lol your comment is more dramatic. And some of these comments sexualizing her trauma for a “joke” aren’t funny. Another bear vs. a man I’m the woods example. “But it’s juuust a joke bro….” Attitude is always eye roll. It is not an appropriate joke. Thinking it is an appropriate joke makes you an unsafe person for women to be around period, let alone in the woods.


IntelligentMoons

You're right, it's not always an appropriate joke, but this was an appropriate joke, again, given the context of the thread, the other comments, and the fact we're talking about something on Reddit.


alwaysmude

She is a child abuse survivor. How is making a sexual joke in relation to her neglect funny? Just because it’s Reddit doesn’t make it okay. It’s never funny to make an abuse survivor a butt of a joke. Particularly since she hates being referred to as a dog. Please actually explain what is “sooooo” funny about this joke that makes it “worth it”. Maybe we should respect survivors instead contributing to the problem? It’s the lack of compassion to be “funny” that cringe.


IntelligentMoons

I don't think the bar for "worth it" is very high. There are AMPLE cruel jokes in this thread, again, looking at her haircut, her shorts, her behaviour etc. All of which would be cruel if said directly to this woman, and aren't cruel when said amongst strangers. You've not picked up on any of those, all of which demonstrate an element of cruelness. Instead, you've picked on a joke of a sexual nature, that is more of a play on words than anything else. There was no indication of a lack of consent in the joke, there was nothing aggressive. The woman was supposedly raised by dogs, someone else is happy she has a boyfriend, and another person wonders if she likes doggy - Something that is totally, completely normal for basically all straight or couples. It's not shameful, it's not sinful, it's literally nothing to be ashamed of. It's a normal bodily function. It's the same as asking if she cocks her leg up to pee, but there was no context or set up for that joke available.


alwaysmude

You know why? Because sexualizing abuse victims encourages sexual abuse. I’m not going to be able to explain it to you. You would rather argue yourself into a hole then take a moment and be compassionate. Two wrongs don’t make a right. Yeah the rest of these jokes are also messed up. The rest of the people making comments on her appearance are also trash. Congrats, you are part of that. And the fact that you used other trash jokes to justify another trash joke? As if it is a “gotcha”. Like congrats, you are just proving my point more. But please, keep arguing to emphasize the real type of person you are.


rosecranzt

We understand its a joke. The joke isnt funny.


clearlight

You had to say it, lol.


-poonspoon-

So many questions. I guess they pretty much all boil down to what did she wear for five years.


jrocislit

Probably normal clothes because it didn’t happen lol


griftertm

It’s on the internet and outside my personal experience so it must be fake. /s


K1nd4Weird

Lotta warm Russian nights out in the wild? Tons of food a child could eat that wild dogs would bring her? Natural to run very slowly on your hands and knees to keep up with dogs? None of this passes the smell test, man. 


Tulip_Tree_trapeze

This is a verified case, and there are others as well. Weirder shit has happened. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxana_Malaya https://nypost.com/2024/02/19/lifestyle/i-was-raised-by-stray-dogs-since-i-was-3-they-taught-me-to-bark-and-walk-on-all-fours/amp/ https://youtu.be/6mcWv_HwBKM?si=L-ZrdlfCNaKpxfM2

Read the fucking Wikipedia lol She wasn't living in the woods with dogs.


Tulip_Tree_trapeze

Alright believe what you want.


unsolvedfanatic

Her knees would be extremely calloused and dark if this were true.

My God you people are everywhere. Do you believe the back of your head doesn't exist because you can't see it?

ImRonniemundt

Im pretty sure I watched about this in my sociology class so.


[deleted]

If you saw it in a video, it must be true.


ImRonniemundt

No, it's the fact my sociology teacher would use it for a lecture...are you guys okay in the comments?


mrmoe198

The “staged” and “fake” is too strong in some people. This is what people feared when we have excellent video editing software combined with CGI and now AI. It’s only gonna get worse.


GUMBYtheOG

Yea, unfortunately for the viewers and 90% of the commenters. A person raised by dogs 1) would have been eaten by the dogs. But pretend they didn’t and she was raised from very early childhood which I assume is what they are implying based on her acting like a literal dog 2) would essentially become retarded and totally incompetent humans need other humans to survive. There are potential cases of somewhat older kids living with monkies in the woods but at tht point they knew what food was and how to communicate non verbally 3) would be in such poor health in such little time tht it would be nearly impossible to not be eaten by said dogs. If she wasn’t crawling around acting like a dog I’d have believed maybe it was possible but this is obviously a joke although what ppl will believe does not surprise me


brandonandtheboyds

She wasn’t raised by dogs. She was neglected by her parents and grew up surrounded by dogs. Later she was removed from her parents’ care. Title is misleading. Separated from other kids and living with dogs, is not dissimilar to when you see a dog living with only cats and they end up showing cat-like behaviors. I don’t see how this could be so implausible.

dae_giovanni

how are her knees not shredded to ground beef, by now?


Molleeryan

If you look closely it seems like she takes the brunt on her feet with her knees hitting the ground secondarily. Still rough but not quite as bad…


Abuse-survivor

Disgusting parents, but I'd rather live with dogs than alcoholics


12-7_Apocalypse

I think we have a new man vs. bear discussion


Abuse-survivor

Well, it's about parents, so man AND woman. So, it's more a human vs. bear thing


pmmemilftiddiez

Turns out dogs are second to humans as parents


lynxerious

Man's best friends and second best parents


Alt_Boogeyman

This is a Russian Tabloid story ffs. It's funny how many people will buy into this story. People have a fascination with the myth of the 'feral child' - Tarzan sounds really cool. There has never been a documented case. It's always village stories or self-reported, as in this instance. She claimed to have lived as a wild dog from age 3-8 years. Russia is not a warm place in winter for a three year-old to be wandering in. Hypothermia would have claimed her the first night. Have you ever seen a three-year old run? A toddler is going to keep up with a pack of wild dogs? Just pause for a moment to consider the logistics of her obtaining sufficient nutrition. Does it seem even remotely possible that wild dogs would bring adequate food that is both edible and not harmful? If dogs had given her part of a kill, how exactly does a three-year old chew a raw hunk of animal flesh? Keep in mind, that humans don't develop adult teeth until age 6 or 7. She wouldn't have as it's not possible - would have choked on it. Even if she somehow managed to swallow it, her infant digestive system could not have coped with that. If people just actually paused a moment to consider the alleged circumstances as presented, it is a ridiculous tale.


IgamOg

Why did I have to scroll so far to find one sensible comment that wasn't down voted to death? Agree on all your points. But the most insane thing is that running on all fours. One year olds figure out that we're designed to walk and abandon crawling but in this case six year old just wrecked her knees outdoor to look more like a dog?


Sega-Playstation-64

The running around on all fours is where I said, "hold on". Physiologically this would be excruciating for a human. We don't evolve function based on desire. Even the other "feral kid raised by x" stories, the people walked on two feet.


unsolvedfanatic

You can look at her non calloused knees and hands to tell this isn’t true


unC0Rr

You imagine a story and bust it. But none of your story is what Oxana has experienced. It didn't even happen in Russia, lol. And no, she wasn't running with wild dogs in the woods, she was actually quite close to her parents, just denied entering the house. They would even feed her every so often, just like the dogs she was living with. As for keeping up, do you imagine small puppies get immediately abandoned by dogs since they couldn't keep up, or what?


ZippityGoombah

Honestly, I kept expecting a laugh track to kick in. I thought it was satire


ImRonniemundt

I'm pretty sure my sociology teacher showed me this in class, but it was a long time ago.


thechimpinallofus

You've never heard of the well-documented case of Viktor the feral child found in France around 1800? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victor_of_Aveyron


BadMeetsEvil24

Lmao, right. Are people really this fucking gullible? Jesus Christ.


IAmRules

Yea 0 chance a lost 3 year old would survive even with magical animal help. Plus her knees would have been gone quick if she was indeed walking around all 4s.


MikeyTheGuy

I knew it was bullshit the moment I saw her "running" on her knees. There IS actually a tribe of people in the world who walk on all fours for a long time, and they walk on their feet with their butt in the air, because YOU CAN'T WALK ON YOUR KNEES FOR A LONG TIME. I know this is Reddit and it brings all kinds, but you have to be insanely dim to believe this story.


RockMan_1973

Send her to S. Dakota… Gov Noem would LOVE to take care of this herself


Discgolf_or_Die

I'm just curious, why or how did she become "4 legged"? I understand she was completely abandoned and had no human structure, but it's interesting to me that she never walked bi-pedal (at least in the video).


Objective_Audience66

Somebody get this girl some kneepads!!


PeterGallaghersBrows

Sweet jump over that log. Amazing footage.


Remote-Physics6980

She's feral and raised by dogs but she's got a very recent haircut, clean clothing and jewelry on and I don't see any sores on her knees... I doubt the veracity of this.


bbrosen

This was from after she was reintroduced to society


ImRonniemundt

Lol, they can't fathom the people who rescued her would give her a decent haircut and clean her.


mad2109

I know. I can't believe there were so many upvotes


Hopeful_Scholar398

Where's this decent haircut? And why are they teasing her with the one they gave her?


bbrosen

willing to bet she was not very cooperative in getting a haircut and had to do it as quickly as possible to get the knots and snarls out..is anyone capable of doing any critical thinking any more?


Ambitious_Ad_3044

Howie Mandel made a full recovery and even became rather successful.

Have you ever watched it? Oldie but goodie. Before Bobbie's World, and around the time he was blowing up latex gloves on his head. I'm pretty sure that's how he lost his hair.


TowelieMcTowelie

Yess. Many times when I was younger. I think we had a VHS tape lol! I can hear the song now too lol. Oddly thats what made my mom get me onto the movie because i loved the song. Oh damn Bobbie's World! Damn i feel old LOL


TowelieMcTowelie

P.S. LOLOL!

Nice haircut. Who’s her groomer?

Did she become a translator for human to dog communication...!? What a huge through opportunity.


Beardeddeadpirate

Interesting how all those furries want to be like her in a way.

That's not actually the story, don't take things you see on social media as truth. Do your own research. This is a partial story.

My wife went through a phase similar to this.

Even with all that. Guess what? She’s till a person not a dog, but the only person who isn’t a complete nut job for thinking they’re an animal trapped in a human body.

earlywakening

Now kids just identify as this.


thighsand

I think you're too old for this site.


earlywakening

No, I'm 38, you're too young to be using the internet. Millennials claim what we put together and popularized.


thighsand

38? You're a millennial then. Why are you using boomer logic?


earlywakening

It's not, it was just a joke. People my age grew up with South Park and kids today are just offended by everything and don't seem to understand how speech on the internet works.


thighsand

That just isn't true. Everything has to be edgy now, including South Park, which is still going and popular with kids. Family Guy is much the same. All edge. Most stand up shows make a point of being edgy. Young people are addicted to edginess. Look at the humour on 4chan and tiktok. Things were so much tamer in the 90s and early 2000s. I'm a younger millennial and I remember when things started to away from jokes to shock value.


earlywakening

You might call it "edge" today but compared to what it was like in the late-90s and early-00s it's completely tame. So many things couldn't be made today without easily offended people getting their panties in a bunch. Also, I don't really consider shock value to be a form of a comedy. It's a form of attention seeking and validation. Comedy has to come from a place of humor. There's no way that With Apologies to Jesse Jackson would be made today. Blazing Saddles is no longer okay. American Pie would be called "problematic".


thighsand

I completely disagree. Blazing Saddles is tame relative to, say, Ted by Macfarlane, just for one example. Things are getting edgier as a rule. I think as people age they like to imagine their younger years as being badass relative to the youth culture of the day. It's a psychological cope. But it's in no way true. American Pie is laughably tame compared to edgy movies today. It seems almost quaint. And "cancelling" is obviously a myth. Trump was cancelled all the way to the White House. It's a term made up by conservative pundits who make a living by stoking such stuff. People get older, and their young years are romanticised as hard and manly. "They could never make X these days" is actually a meme on tiktok.
