Pennsylvania Man Registers Alligator as Emotional Support Pet

If you haven’t heard of an emotional support alligator, you’ve got to read the story of Joie Henney and Wally. Henney, 65, had been doing gator rescues for over 10 years. Back in 2015, a friend of his asked him if he wanted a gator, and he agreed.

Henney says that it took him a month to be able to domesticate Wally. Like dogs, Wally is territorial. Henney takes Wally to schools and assisted-living facilities for educational purposes. But Henney also noticed that children appeared to be calmed by Wally’s presence, so he registered Wally as an emotional support animal.

Wally enjoys the top of his head rubbed. Henney says that Wally is just like a dog who wants to be loved and petted.
