Aloka the Peace Dog Walks 2,300 Miles for Peace
There is a special dog named Aloka who was once a stray.
He found a group of Buddhist monks who were walking across India to spread peace.
Aloka decided to join them and has been walking with them ever since.
They faced many challenges, like Aloka getting sick and hurt, but he always returned to the walk.
Now, Aloka and the monks are on a big journey from Texas to Washington, DC, to encourage people to be kind and united.
They are walking for 110 days and sharing their journey on social media.
Aloka even has his own Instagram account.
People are inspired by their story and the message of peace they are spreading.
Aloka, an abandoned dog, joined Buddhist monks on a peace walk across India.
Aloka overcame illness and injury to continue walking with the monks.
The group is now on a 2,300-mile walk from Fort Worth, Texas to Washington, DC.
The journey aims to promote compassion, peace, and unity across 10 states.
Aloka and the monks' progress is being shared on social media, including Instagram and Facebook.
