Kunu Masela
Kunu Masela is one of those street children who hung around with dogs, this time in the Kenyan town of Machakos. Once his story received publicity in the local papers, his mother revealed herself, and admitted that poverty had caused her to abandon Kunu at the age of about three. Mrs Rukia Ali Murefu, age 29, was a coffee plantation worker who had moved to Nairobi.
Breast fed by dogs
Kunu Masela claims to have been breast-fed by the dog he lived with, which he called Poppy.
