But the reptile isn't a wild beast: It's the emotional support animal of a Philadelphia man who runs several social media accounts documenting his loving relationship with Wally the alligator.
Henney told CNN that he acquired Wally six years ago. A longtime reptile rescuer who has worked with alligators for 30 years, Henney was contacted by a friend working in Florida.People are also reading… In Florida, so-called"nuisance alligators" must be either euthanized or transferred into captivity, he explained.
