Veterinarians were planning to use blow dryers to dry a llama off after it fell through the ice at a small pond near Salida.

Emergency crews were called to rescue the llama at the pond on private property near Centerville, north of Salida, on Friday morning. A neighbor saw the llama fall through the ice.

Chaffee County authorities say the animal was submerged with only its neck and head poking up above water.
