Aloka, The Peace Dog

 Aloka is a formerly stray Indian Pariah dog who is accompanying Vietnamese-American Buddhist monks on a 2,300-mile "Walk for Peace" from Texas to Washington, D.C. I follow him because his gentle nature reminds me of my dear dog Liz who died a couple of years ago at the age of 19.
