The Lyrics

Oxana Malaya's drug addicted parents were unable to care for her, and at three years of age she was exiled from her home. They lived in an impoverished area where there were wild dogs roaming the streets. She took refuge in a shed inhabited by these dogs behind her house. She was cared for by them and learned their behaviors and mannerisms. The bonding with the pack of dogs was so strong that the authorities who came to rescue her were driven away in the first attempt by the dogs. She growled, barked, walked on all fours and crouched like a wild dog, sniffed at her food before she ate it, and was found to have acquired extremely acute senses of hearing, smell and sight. She only knew how to say "yes" and "no" when she was rescued. When she was discovered, Oxana found it difficult to acquire normal human social and emotional skills. She had been deprived of intellectual and social stimulation, and her only emotional support had come from the dogs she lived with. Oxana's lack of exposure to language in a human social context made it very difficult for her to improve her language skills.Today, Oxana can speak and many of her behavior problems have been remedied. Whether she will be able to form strong relationships and feel part of any human community remains to be seen. In the British Channel 4 documentary, as well in the Portuguese SIC channel documentary, her doctors stated that it is unlikely that she will ever be properly rehabilitated into "normal" society. As of 2010 at the age of 27, Oxana resides at a home for the mentally handicapped, where she helps look after the cows in the clinic's farm. She has expressed that she is happiest when among dogs.

Wild dog girl nobody knew
of the Ukraine

Roaming dogs in the street raised you
There’s no denyin’
She was survivin’

Rescuers couldn’t understand it
Her runnin’ around
Barkin’ and growlin’
Mannerisms of a dog when found

Wild dog girl nobody knew
of the Ukraine
Her exile inhumane

Dogs raised you
Dogs raised you
Dogs raised you
You survived somehow
And tho’ you can’t share
With the rest of humanity
We love you anyhow

Behavioral instability
Wild dog girl nobody knew
of the Ukraine
(will never fit into society)




I would have written my own text, but Oxana's story is better told through the Wiki ref... Oxana: http://www.smashinglists.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/oxana-malaya.jpg

Well, you really can't say that nobody knew Oxana Malaya, Rob and I know her, just not personally, but I'm sure we'd love to do that! Barking 5 times, three times in a row! :-)

WCJ, the part of the title dealing with her being unknown refers to the time period from age 3 until rescued. Also, it could be used in terms of her detachment from humanity regarding speech and behavioral dysfunctions. Even today, Oxana does not really fit in society and feels most comfortable around dogs... sad...

I too know her sad story Rob, I was just thinking of a comment to write, that wouldn't sound like it might have been accidently insulting about her. :-(
