You don’t see this everyday in Philadelphia! 🐊 Onlookers at Love Park were in for a surprise when they saw a girl taking an alligator for a splash in the fountains. Local reports say the reptile is her emotional support alligator. https://t.co/7qkneeaepJpic.twitter.com/Q6IaWmHV1M

This is Wally. He’s not just any alligator, but an emotional support alligator. On Friday, his owner, Joie Henney of York, Pennsylvania, brought Wally to LOVE Park in Philadelphia.
Wally was leashed but, notably, not muzzled when he met the local humans. A young girl escorted him through the fountains. Wally permitted the humans to pet him (presumably he would have had the means to prevent such petting if he didn’t care for it).
Listen beautiful relax classics on our Youtube channel.
You can see more photos and videos taken by passerby at USA Today. My favorite part of the above video comes when Wally simply drops down heavily onto the bricks to enjoy the experience. We’ve all had Fridays like that.
