Soul Mate for Feral Boy?

As reported in the Denver Post on May 29: Russian officials have taken a 5-year-old Siberian girl into care, saying that she had apparently been "brought up" by cats and dogs. The girl, who is unable to speak, was discovered living in a squalid flat in the Siberian city of Chita, the British Broadcasting Corp. reports. Police said she had never been allowed outside and had adopted the behavior of the animals she lived with. They said she now "barked like a little dog" and jumped at the door when her caretakers left the room.
