This legendary Pakistani/Indian fighting dog is thought by some of its fanciers to have remained pure and unchanged since ancient times, while others question its true origin and background
Ancient Bully .
1) "Animals grow biggest in india ,from india comes the dog that are larger than all others."( Naturalis Historia by Pliny the elder 77CE)
2) "The Indian dogs are very large and even attack lions"( Ctesias,400BC)
3) Aristotle writes in his Book History of animalia 350 BC "They say that the Indian dog is a cross between the tiger and the bitch, not the first cross, but a cross in the third generation; for they say that the first cross is a savage creature. They take the bitch to a lonely spot and tie her up: if the tiger be in an amorous mood he will pair with her; if not he will eat her up, and this casualty is of frequent occurrence"
[Please note here that Aristotle is stressing on They say meaning that a famous fable of his time, please don't misinterpret this to think he confirmed this]
4) We can find mention in Religious Scriptures like Ramayana approximately 900 years BC
