## History
The Bengali Dog's origins trace back to the Indian subcontinent, where it has been a popular choice among urban Bengalis for decades. While its exact lineage is not well-documented, the breed is believed to have descended from the Indian Spitz, which was introduced to the region during the colonial era.
