Pennsylvania man revealed he registered an alligator as his emotional support animal and even shared a bed with the reptile.


Joseph Henney,69, and his seven-year-old emotional support animal WallyGator spend every moment together, from giving kisses to sleeping in the same bed at night. 

He explained to the Washington Post that WallyGator is “super sweet-natured” and loves watching television and weekly trips to the farmer’s market in Jonestown. However, this doesn’t bother Henney’s neighbors as they’re used to the pair walking together. According to state law, it is legal to own a pet alligator.

“Wally is definitely not your average crocodilian. He’s a very special gator, but I wouldn’t recommend that anyone get one. If you don’t know what you’re doing, you will get bit,” he explained.
