Man Sleeps in Bed With an 'Emotional Support' Alligator – and He's Not Even from Florida

A man has divulged he sleeps with an alligator, and the most shocking angle of this story is he resides in Pennsylvania, and not Florida.

Joseph Henney’s emotional support animal WallyGator goes with him almost everywhere, from the grocery store to walks in the park. They hug each other and sleep in the same bed. WallyGator is an alligator.

…

The two watch television together on the couch, and when Henney takes him to the farmers market, WallyGator gives hugs to shoppers — as long as they are okay with being that close to a 70-pound reptile with a mouth full of razor-sharp teeth.

This may be a paywall, so I posted mediate above which isn't: His emotional support animal is an alligator. They sleep in the same bed.

But he went home that day with a letter from the doctor, stating that WallyGator qualified as an emotional support animal.

Henney filled out an application on the U.S. Service Animals website, and once it was approved, he received a certificate along with a harness and leash for his alligator. WallyGator is required to be certified every year, he said.

Not gonna lie, the gator is cuter than I expected. I just hope we don’t hear in the future that this man has been chomped up.

Wonder if your chosen animal is "certified" as long as your check clears the bank annually....

That was my first thought too. It's actually really cute lol. Just hope the obvious potential dangers are avoided...
