Indian Pariah Dog Aloka Becomes A Global Peace Symbol

It all started as an incidental meeting on the Indian roads, and now it has transformed into a moving world story of the spirit of compassion, peace, and friendship. Aloka, the peace dog, an Indian Pariah dog that used to live as a stray dog, is an internationally recognized pet having been rescued by a crowd of Buddhist monks on their Walk for Peace in India. Nowadays, Aloka strolls next to the monks in the United States of America and turns into a symbol of peaceful coexistence and fidelity.

From Indian Streets to a Peaceful Journey

The monks first became aware of Aloka when they were on their 100-day Walk of Peace in India. The stray dog did not run away, but started following them, step by step. His silence became an indestructible connection over time. The monks accepted him, and he accompanied the monks for weeks and months, as the message of peace they contained was just that.

A Social Media Sensation

Aloka has been made an internet favorite since she joined the monks on their journey in the US. The videos of him walking calmly with the monks, and sitting next to them during prayers, or looking at the camera as though he is modeling, have won millions of views and subscribers on social media.

In one of the viral clips, Aloka is seen in India playing with a wild boar in peace. Rather than being aggressive, he did it in the form of a joke, which made him the beloved pet name of a dog of peace among the viewers on the Internet.

Life on the Walk for Peace in the US

The monks are already walking a distance of over 1,300 miles from Fort Worth to Washington, D.C. Despite the colder conditions of the weather, Aloka still marches with them whenever he can. To keep him safe, the monks occasionally keep him in an RV van, although he prefers it to walking.

Key moments from Aloka’s journey include:

• And pacing endlessly with the monks, and never displaying signs of weariness.
• In cold weather, wear a black sweater with a white collar.
• Seated serenely when visiting temples and praying.
• Waving the tail and gently inquiring of strangers.
• Seeing the monks through the RV window as they rest.

Passersby usually pause to meet Aloka, and to give him treats and love, which he welcomes with a wag of the tail at times asking to have more of them.

A Symbol Beyond Words

Aloka is not just another viral video. He is a symbol of the common language of benevolence, and he demonstrates that compassion can know no species, no boundaries, and no cultures. The monks are concerned about his well-being and should keep him healthy, yet proceed with his favorite journey.

Conclusion

The story of the emergence of Aloka, the peace dog, is a strong warning that peace is not necessarily something that needs to be said. It even pads along beside us and licks at our feet with pity. Whether in the Indian streets or on the American roads, the trip made by Aloka makes people believe in empathy, coexistence, and the magic of good deeds.
