My Pet Llama

Angela, 3, goes to a Compassion center in Bolivia, a South American country where many people raise llamas.  

“My llama likes to eat barley and drink water,” says Angela. “I like to play with him. His name is Rufo — I named him that. My mom and I graze him along with our cow. He doesn’t run away. I like to hug him.”
