Emotional Support Alligator Attends Philadelphia Flyers Game, Dances with Mascot Gritty After Phillies Rejection

"Wally the Alligator" Brings Joy to Flyers' Game after Phillies Denied Entry, Owner Joie Henney Uses Emotional Support Animal for His Depression.

Wally, the emotional support alligator owned by Joie Henney, attended a Philadelphia Flyers' game, offsetting the team's loss to the Carolina Hurricanes.
Wally and Gritty, the Flyers' mascot, danced together during a part of the game referred to as the 'Lion King Cam.'
Henney, who uses Wally for his depression, had previously tried to bring the alligator to a Phillies game but was denied entry, as the stadium only allows service animals.
Wally, native to a pond at Disney World in Florida, now resides with Henney near Hershey, Pennsylvania, providing comfort and emotional support. Henney has cited that Wally 'makes me feel loved.'
Wally has become quite a sensation, amassing a considerable following on Instagram and TikTok, with Henney advocating that people should 'respect him, not fear him.'
