  1. bow wow bow wow, grrrrrrrrrr


  2. it would have sore knees.

  3. I think it could happen and there are some stories of similar things that have happened:

    http://www.livevideo.com/video/3574660E0...

    http://www.feralchildren.com/en/index.ph...

    So why not?

  4. I seen a movie about that topic but i don't know in a real life if that will happen or you just use your imagination.

  5. yes but as people have already said it wouldnt be able to happen as they would not be able to feed but there have been exaples of young children going missing in jungle areas for example being presumed dead but being found later behaveing and acting as thought they were looked after by animals or even just neglected by parents and left in the care of animals.

    I'll try find the example and get back to ya

    Edit

    Here are soe example i found:

    Oxana Malaya,

    Rochom P'ngieng

  6. there was a girl raised by dogs and she was able to communicate with them, she also walked on all fours and barked like one, and fed like a dog, until she was found and rescued and is now learning how to re-adjust to the real world and learning how to speak.

  7. Feral children do exist, you won't be able to understand them, as they would act and think just like a dog because this is all they have ever known.

  8. nope

  9. First of all that can't happen the baby would die. And if it did happen, I doubt it would believe its a dog. Dogs are raised by humans and they don't think they are humans.

  10. Looks That Way...

  11. yes but could neva happen

  12. No, but it would be a feral adult with severely limited brain functioning capacities, as the areas of the brain that are for communication and reasoning would not have been stimulated in childhood, and therefore would not have developed correctly.

  13. Have you been watching Jungle Book dude?

  14. It has happened before, not too long ago.

    When they found her, it don't think she acted very human at all, and years after, she still couldn't talk.

    So basically, she didn't learn skills that we learn from other humans.

  15. It wouldn't happen as they wouldn't be able to feed it.

  16. werent there those indian girls raised by wild dogs? wikipedia ferrell children
