In 1984 Rudyard Kipling, an English Author, published a book of short stories called THE JUNGLE BOOK. The story featured the character Mowgli, who was found and raised by wolves. That story was actually based off the discovery of Dina Sanichar from 1872. Dina Sanichar (1860 or 1861–1895) was a feral child. Sanichar was discovered by a group of hunters among wolves in a cave in Bulandshahr, Uttar Pradesh, India in February 1867, at the age of around six. Sanichar was taken to Sikandra Mission Orphanage where he was given the name "Sanichar" because he arrived on a Saturday. When he arrived at the orphanage, he reportedly walked on all fours and ate raw meat. While he could not speak, he would make sounds similar to a wolf. He went on to live among other humans for over twenty years but never learned to speak and remained seriously impaired his entire life. Sanichar was a heavy smoker. He supposedly died of tuberculosis in 1895.

After the war, the islanders decided to keep worshipping John Frum in the hope that he'll one day return and make their cargo cult prominent.

In 1911, in an event called "Hayırsızada Dog Massacre", the Governor of Istanbul ordered the stray dogs in the streets to be rounded up and exiled to Sivriada.
