Comments Off on Heartwarming story of a dog who walked 600km to keep a
Sabarimala pilgrim company

The pilgrimage done, Malu even rode back with Naveen on a Kerala govt bus to become a
member of his family.

Naveen first saw Malu on December 8, on the second day of his nearly 700km pilgrimage by
foot from the Mookambika temple in Kollur, Udupi to the Sabarimala shrine in Pathanamthitta.
Naveen had no way of knowing then that he had found a friend of a lifetime, who would stay
by his side through thick and thin.

Back then Malu was just a stray dog that was curious about a bearded man walking along the
road.

It took Naveen, a 38-year-old hailing from Kozhikode in Kerala, 17 days to make the journey
of more than 600 km by foot. And incredibly, Malu was with him almost every step of the

way. And when he made his return journey on December 23, Malu came back home with him,
seated right next to him in a KSRTC bus. My Tweets

An employee at the Kerala State Electricity Board, Naveen began his journey on the morning
of December 7. At first, he was worried about several stray dogs that approached him,
especially in the morning hours, and invariably shood them off. But something about Malu set LATEST REVIEWS
this dog apart from others.

Did Naveen know what Malu was capable of? Not at first, he admits. August 6, 2015

After we crossed Kozhikode, I was positive that she would not leave my side. She is a very
persistent and clever dog. She would patiently wait for me when I went off to have food or
take a bath. She would safely guard my thirumudikettu (bag of articles for worship) and
sleep beside me at night, Naveen says. INDIGENOUS/PAGAN VOICE

Naveens voice fills with wonder when he recalls the time Malu acted as his alarm to wake Why Hindus SHOULD

walking till he could reach a temple that would serve as his resting place for the night.
