Littleborough, part of Rochdale in Greater Manchester, was gripped by a llama drama on Monday night after a pet went on the run.
Calista, a female llama, escaped from a field at Ealees at about 6pm after being scared by a dog.
The terrified creature was then spotted by dozens of motorists as it ran around the streets of the town.
Owner Dan Taylor eventually managed to track her down at about midnight, before calming her down and walking her back home.
Mr Taylor, 48, has 19 of the creatures which he keeps as pets on the family farm.
He believes Calista, one of 14 females in the herd, ran away after a dog got into the field and started to chase her.
Mr Taylor said: “She was very frightened and it will take her a long time to get over this.
All of them were very spooked by the dog. They are very timid and friendly creatures and this kind of thing really upsets them.

“I would really urge dog owners not to let their animals out loose in the area as they are not allowed in the field.”
The sight of the creature running amok on the streets of Littleborough drew some confused stares from passers by.
Mr Taylor added: “It’s not the kind of thing you see every day, people were looking at me with strange expressions when I eventually walked her home.”

I concur with you, Ratz.
This is the piece I really want to read. This is the most amazing and funny escape I have ever read. Why the animals are escaping from their cages? Why you all are not giving them freedom instead of keeping them in prison? But the people of Karachi, Pakistan are not escaping with my Best SEO Company in Pakistan which helps my clients to compete with their competitors in the ranking race on Google Search Pages.
