Loose llamas captivated the nation, including some local llama breeders, on Thursday.
"It gave everybody a lot to talk about!" said Carol Reigh, of Buck Hollow Llamas in Robeson Township.
The fiasco, fondly named "Llama drama," took off on social media around the world.
It all began on Thursday after two fugitive llamas ran wild through traffic near Phoenix, Arizona.
The pair had been serving as therapy llamas at a retirement community when their unnamed owner took them out for a bathroom break. The animals became startled and darted.
"They weren't running full-out either," said Reigh. "I mean they were at a medium pace, so you could tell that they were just curious as to where to go next."
Reigh is happy both of the llamas were safely recovered.
She wouldn't necessarily advise that type of capture, though.
"The easiest thing to do is get a group of people and corral them into a corner. They won't break through a rope or your hands," she said.
Reigh hopes that the story won't shed negative light on the animals, which she said are loving and comfortable around people. They can be easily approached in a gentle-manner.
"I hope that people can be interested in just seeing how cool they are," she said. "I mean, they're beautiful animals and you can see how intelligent they are. That's what's really fun about raising them, they're so easy to train."
Reigh has trained her llamas to enter and travel in her "llamasine" where she shows them.
She's inviting the community to visit her llamas during a free "open barn" event in October.
