The most famous dog in America is Aloka the Peace Dog. He is walking 2,300 miles from Fort Worth, Texas to Washington, D.C. for peace and compassion. When 24 Buddhist monks embarked on their Walk for Peace journey in October 2025, they had no idea that so many people would be captivated by Aloka.
On December 9, 2025, the monks created an additional page called Aloka the Peace Dog. The page has already amassed over 200,000 followers. Along their journey, people have not only donated food, water, and gifts, but they have also made sure Aloka had plenty of treats.
Aloka has a white patch on his head that naturally forms a heart. It feels like his presence was needed to show the true meaning of kindness.
