Raised by Dogs, This 8-Year-Old Child Doesn’t Know How to Speak; He Barks, ‘The Boy Had No One’

  • An eight-year-old boy in Uttaradit province, Thailand, was rescued on June 30 after living with six dogs and unable to speak normally.
  • Authorities took action after concerns were raised by community members and child advocates about the boy’s long-term neglect and isolation by his family, who were struggling with drug addiction.
  • The boy’s mother received 400 baht in government funds for his education but kept him at home, where he mimicked dog behavior and did not attend school for two years.
  • Paveena Hongsakul, head of an organization supporting children and women, led the rescue and promised that the boy would be given opportunities for a better life, with continued support to address his needs.
  • The boy is now safe in a children's shelter receiving care, while officials work to provide proper education and support to help him adjust to normal life.
