Rescue Dog Leads Monks On A Peace Walk

An abandoned dog believed to be an Indian Pariah breed has become the loyal companion of 19 Buddhist monks on an incredible 2,300 mile peace walk from Fort Worth, Texas to Washington, D.C. that’s inspiring communities across America. The canine named Aloka first joined the monks during their opening 112 day peace walk in India, and despite being hit by a car and falling ill for an extended period, he refused to give up on the mission even when the monks tried to let him rest in a truck. Aloka jumped out of the vehicle and rejoined the walking group, proving his dedication to spreading messages of peace and unity alongside his spiritual companions who live at the Huong Dao Vipassana Bhavana in Fort Worth. The journey launched in October and is expected to cover 10 states in 110 days before ending in the nation’s capital in February, with the group reaching Atlanta by late December as strangers provide warm welcomes all along the way.

A Dairy Queen store in Texas gave the monks ice cream and made sure Aloka got some too, while doctors in Alabama provided free checkups, and crowds have gathered across the Sun Belt to meet the monks and share meals and well wishes as the convoy moves north toward the capital. Texas Representative Nicole Collier praised the mission, saying it touches hearts and minds during a time when division can feel louder than unity, showing what community and interfaith solidarity looks like in action. The monks say Aloka is a true hero who inspires them by overcoming obstacles and choosing to walk every step of the way rather than taking the easy path. With hearts anchored in calmness and minds set firmly on their purpose, the monks and their lovable four legged friend move forward step by step, embodying peace, resilience, and unwavering determination on their sacred path toward the White House.
