I saw her chest move up and down.<br /><br />"I got bolt croppers and cut away the fence and started rubbing her.<br /><br />"I was trying to get her up. I had to drag her out.<br /><br />"It's amazing that she survived."<br /><br />Josh believes Fanny Ann had gone in search for grass and found herself stuck in a tight spot.<br /><br />In a desperate attempt to escape, the animal reached her neck under the fence but got wedged tight. <br /><br />He noticed she was missing on Thursday (8/2) evening when he did a count up of his 16 alpacas after moving them into the shelter for the night - but couldn't find her.<br /><br />Josh said: "I did a count up and counted 15.<br /><br />"I looked round our land - in the yoga studio, cabins and fields.<br /><br />"It got dark so I decided to look again in the morning."<br /><br />After eventually finding Fanny Ann and coming to her rescue, Josh said she was back on her feet 45 minutes after dragging her out from under the fence.<br /><br />He said: "She struggled to her feet.<br /><br />"They are pretty hardy creatures.<br /><br />"It was a miracle."
