WallyGator, the emotional support alligator stepped out to enjoy a day at Philadelphia’s LOVE Park.

The gator was seen making friends and enjoying water features at the park.

A video on Wally’s official TikTok shows him getting media attention while sitting on the lap of an older man, likely his owner Joie Henney.

Henney lives nearby in the York, Pennsylvania area.  He brought Wally to LOVE Park for a meet and greet with the public. Henney, who is battling cancer, has set up a GoFundMe page to help cover costs for Wally, and other reptiles Henny cares for at Forgotten Friend Reptile Sanctuary.

Henney rescued Wally from Florida in September 2016 when the animal was only 14 months old.

Within a month, the gator was gentle and happy to follow his new owner around the house. “He wants to be loved and petted…”

Henney takes the reptile with him “mostly everywhere … like parks and stores.”
