US: Man rescues 'friendly' llama wandering off highway in Massachusetts

A passerby in Massachusetts, US, recently spotted a wandering llama in an open field and with help of an animal control officer, brought it to a farm for safekeeping. According to Associated Press, Patrick Boddy was driving in Newburyport when he spotted male grey-and-white llama. Boddy, who last year rescued two street dogs, stopped his truck and approached animal on January 4 in a bid to make sure that it was unharmed. 

Boddy said that llama was sitting alone in an open area off Hale Street, near Interstate 95. He said that animal acted “very chill”, although he fully expected that it would get spooked and run away. But to his surprise llama sat re, seeming unbored by his presence. 

“I h my arm around thing, kind of calming him down. It was just really gentle and friendly. I knew it must’ve been some kind of pet or something,” Boddy told Boston Globe.

‘Recognize this pretty llama?’

Eventually, Boddy contacted animal control office and Kayla Provencher, officer for both Newburyport and West Newbury, was n alerted. Provencher said that when she reached location it was kind of funny to see just one llama and one guy, standing next to each or looking at her as she came down embankment. After animal control officer’s arrival, both Boddy and Provencher n called around local farms to see if any were missing a llama. 

Provencher said, “I’m t sure where he came from or how he got re”. She ded that llama was, however, hungry and drank a lot of water, indicating that he was in need of some care. After spending hours looking for llama’s owner, Provencher n turned to social media to help solve case. But she didn’t have any les on wandering llama’s owner, even after posting photos of him on animal control’s Facebook p.
