Raised by Dogs, This 8-Year-Old Child Doesn’t Know How to Speak; He Barks, ‘The Boy Had No One’
- On June 30, 2025, authorities rescued an 8-year-old boy from a drug-afflicted wooden stilt house in Uttaradit province, Thailand.
- The rescue was prompted by concerns raised by a school principal and child rights advocates after discovering that the boy had been out of school for two years and communicated solely through barking.
- The boy lived in neglect alongside his older brother and mother, both struggling with drug addiction, seldom interacted with other people, and behaved like the family’s six dogs while staying inside their home.
- Paveena Hongsakul, president of a child welfare foundation, stated that the boy will have the opportunity for a better future and that they intend to monitor his situation to ensure all his needs are met.
- The boy now receives care at a children's shelter, and officials plan to provide proper education and support for his social development.
