”The Beagle Has Landed,” By Vienna author Rowena Saura
A resident of Vienna has written a children’s book about living in London with her beagle, Amos.
“I have lived in Vienna, Va. for a total of 17 years and I got my rescue beagle, Amos, from Mutt Love Rescue in Fairfax, Va.,” said author Rowena Saura.
The local author left her job at the Smithsonian in 2018 to live in London with her rescue beagle. The adventures couldn't help but happen …
“It was delightful taking my American beagle all over England. He became an expert rider on the Tube, double decker buses, and trains. He served as an effective ‘ambassador,’” Saura said. “Londoners and tourists always wanted to say ‘hello’ to him and give him a pat on the head.
“Walking around London with a dog is like walking with a celebrity”
Amos died at the end of 2024, but Saura said she’ll always remember the good cheer he brought to people across continents.
“I hope the book's humor and emphasis on kindness and friendship will appeal to children and the adults who read to them, Saura said.
The book “also includes some interesting bits about London history, food, and culture.
