Philadelphia – An unusual scene was captured in a video clip in Philadelphia on Friday: a girl walking an alligator on a leash.

As it turns out, WallyGator It is an emotional support crocodile of domestic reptile rescue.

Wally has become a TikTok sensation – and he’s definitely not your typical crocodile.

Wally’s therapist, Joey Heaney, is currently undergoing radiation for prostate cancer, and Wally is his emotional support animal.

“He’s a huge supporter of people who need smiles,” Heaney told sister station. WPVI. “He works with so many adults and children with special needs. It brings thousands of smiles to people’s faces almost every day. It comforts people when they are sad.”

If Wally sounds familiar, he was the inspiration for the design of ‘Alligator Loki’ on Disney+.

The Walt Disney Company is the parent company of this ABC station.
