Aloka, an Indian stray dog, has become the unofficial mascot for a 3,700km 'Walk for Peace' across the US, organized by the Huong Dao Vipassana Bhavana Center. The monks began their 120-day journey on October 10, aiming to promote peace, kindness, and compassion. Aloka, estimated to be four years old and possibly an Indian Pariah dog, previously walked with the monks for over 100 days in India and now has a significant following on Instagram.
