If I had a nickel every time I’ve seen a man with an emotional support alligator I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.
I hope him and Wally have a happy long life together. he is absolutely adorable and I’m glad he helps with his depression. Depression can suck the life out of you.
FAKE DEPRESSION SO HE CAN GET SOCIAL SECURITY WHICH HE SHOULD NOT BE GETTING. THIS GUY LIED TO HE SAID HE HAD PAPER WORK FOR A SERVICE ALLIGATOR BUT RECENTLY WALLY WAS STOLEN AND JOE SAID HE HAD LIED ABOUT THE PAPERWORK. ALLIGATORS BELONG IN THE SWAMPS NOT WALKING IN A MALL. GROW UP AMERICA
What can I say. You have a great alligator friend in there Sir, I wish you good mental and physical health and also very long years of companionship to come.
I know the dangers that come with associating human emotions to an animal, that being said....that alligator looked genuinely Happy. This story is amazing, Thank you Mr Hartman
There have been previous stories of Wally and they are very heartwarming. Nice to see another one. Wally is not the only friendly alligator as a woman in Florida also has one. They are quite misunderstood.
I remember this story! A lady on the street was curious and wanted to see how it felt to hold him. And she even admit the weight on her chest felt like a great hug and she felt rhe energy 😢❤
Qué hermosa y emocionante historia de amistad!!! Amo a los animales. No tienen crueldad, sus acciones son sólo por instinto. Los seres humanos tenemos tanto para aprender de ellos. Que sean muy felices juntos 💓. Mi deseo desde Argentina.
When cold blooded animals learn to be pets they learn that the person holding them is warm as the sun probably why he cuddles with him all the time and of course of the bond they have
Listen I love reptiles and they deserve a helluva lot more respect but even I was like “he should probably tape the mouth shut if he’s going to let strangers near it” (from what I’ve heard it’s completely safe if the tape is the right brand and not too tight) but then I saw him literally stick his hand in the little guys mouth and I’ve never been so shook while being wrong, that is amazing. I never thought I’d see an alligator that chill
He isn't claiming it's a service animal so that's fine with me. And while it's a volatile subject. Any animal can provide comfort to someone. He seems to know exactly what he's got himself in to. And knows they are what they are. I say he's doing it fine.
@Rich Perez to 99.9% but there's always the one. Like soul mates, maybe they haven't found each other yet. But we also can't say that's a fact for every single honey badger. There was a vid of a honey badger and a fox I believe who acted if not like friends then travel companions.
this reporter is the dame dude that reported about an old man meeting a young girl and fell in love, that's the only other segment I saw of him and he has a very distinctive look
I can say wally is a rare case of being well tamed, but still most alligators be quite dangerous as a pet. Even if you raise it with kindness and love, someday they might bite you back.
It was the right call to deny him entry. Even though this may be the world’s gentlest alligator…it’s still an alligator. Where do we draw the line? Hippo’s Ostrich Hyena’s
Well that’s definitely a new one! The warning (don’t try this at home) is duly noted. I doubt I would see one around anyway. I would have loved to hear some reactions from the townspeople. Aside from the toddler who screamed and ran for mama!
About Wally being kidnapped and released into the wild- is there anyone here who knows anything abt wildlife/alligators & could give any info abt his odds of survival? & as he was released into a swamp w abt 20 other alligators, what will happen with them? Is there a chance/likelihood any of them would attack him? Based on like, their wild instinctual behavior I mean. Or is it essentially that he’d just live like all the other gators there. And since he’s spent most (if not all) of his life domesticated, what are his odds right now? Can’t be that hard for him to figure out hunting, right..? Would love some general info on this and like alligator behavior in this situation so there can be hope he survives until they find him :(

Is it weird I have seen this scenario 5 times?
Nice hint to doofensmits man

"Wally lives on cheetos and chicken legs."
Just like me!
😂😂
he likes cheeto 😭😭❤❤❤
😂😂😂
That's an angel in the body of an alligator. 😢
He has went missing by the way. He got kidnapped by a few men and then dropped into a pool with 20 other alligators, making it impossible to find him
He's a wild animal, people need to find other things to connect with.. dog for example... I don't feel sorry
@@Karl.Jayce-DE dogs were wild animals before they were domesticated. That alligator never hurt anyone, he was the sweetest thing.
@@acceptibilation5506it’s horrible someone would do that to someone’s emotional support animal
May the lord be with him and the alligator , very special bond
Nice, good for you man. Depression is no joke, hope you both live long and safely together.

Wally got stolen and then the authorities released him into the wild :(

OMG! What great coverage. Those are not crocodile tears. I teared up too!
so cringe, go outside.
Me too! That was so sweet! They are very bonded and it's incredibly special 💕

My goodness this is the best lol, I’m so happy he is not depressed much more, always try and find help or talk to someone depression is the worst
So emotional and rare at the same time
I know the dangers that come with associating human emotions to an animal, that being said....that alligator looked genuinely Happy. This story is amazing, Thank you Mr Hartman
Animals don't know how to look happy or feel it. All you saw is your own reflection.
@@OregonCrow You never saw a happy dog?
@@Durka-Durka I've seen an excited dog.
@@OregonCrowanimals feel happiness thats a fact not an opinion
@@katatista They do not, that's YOU feeling the happiness, not them. Pets are only reflections of our emotions.
Depression is a deep and dark place I’m so glad he found this alligator
wow I never thought I'd see a smile on a croc but the last few seconds of the croc clip he was truly smiling. now I've seen it all
Alligator not crocodile.
this is simply one of the most beautiful things i have ever seen or heard of in my entire life. i am happy for them both.
Just mention it’s Steve Hartman! He’s literally the reason I follow the channel!
Wally puts a smile on my face😀
I don’t understand it. All I know is it’s beautiful and I’m crying. But they are happy tears.😢😊
There have been previous stories of Wally and they are very heartwarming. Nice to see another one. Wally is not the only friendly alligator as a woman in Florida also has one. They are quite misunderstood.
What a good boy
Imagine this guy going to church with his emotional support alligator.
Give This Man His Gator Back!!
What happened they took it away from him??
@@Patsworldbaby somebody stole it and dropped it in the Everglades as a “prank”
I remember this story! A lady on the street was curious and wanted to see how it felt to hold him. And she even admit the weight on her chest felt like a great hug and she felt rhe energy 😢❤
This a good man wow touched my heart I love the story what a sweet alligator and man.
Lucky alligator!❤️
i love u wally!!!!!!!!!!!!!. good job dad
Thats adorable. Wally is such a good scaley boi. I love untraditional pets that actually have a relationship with their owner ❤
Wow you can just feel how much he loves that gator through them tears and Wally will always be there to cheer him up 😊🐊
So about that
The guy looks genuinely happy, whatever works for him I suppose :)
Nice to have a good animal friend!
Welcome to Pennsylvania where it's illegal to have a hedgehog as a pet, but not an alligator 😂
Somehow, it'll still end in tears.
HE'S A GOOD BOY!
He is very Lovable and most unusual.
This is the most gangsta thing ive ever seen! And that Gator is absolutely smiling!!!! I love this ❤❤
Bless you both
Find Love where it blooms...
Wally and his owner are still alive and happy as of October 2023.
And, when Wally's owner dies @ home, guess who Wally is having for dinner 😅😂
@@rainydaywoman5758 same with a cat, whats your point? They are still carnivorous animals that need to eat.
@@rainydaywoman5758right 😂
They stole Wally!!!! And he was dumped in a lake!!! Spread the word!!! Bring Wallygator home!!
@@heresjohnny23.7 As much as I hope I'm wrong, Wally is probably dead by now
Such a beautiful story
Qué hermosa y emocionante historia de amistad!!!
Amo a los animales. No tienen crueldad, sus acciones son sólo por instinto. Los seres humanos tenemos tanto para aprender de ellos.
Que sean muy felices juntos 💓. Mi deseo desde Argentina.
Love this man and Wally ❤❤❤
Precious ❤❤
How sweet ❤
Wally is such a good boy, he deserves all the Cheetos. I wish I could give him a little smooch on the head.
When cold blooded animals learn to be pets they learn that the person holding them is warm as the sun probably why he cuddles with him all the time and of course of the bond they have
Not sure if this is a good thing feel sad for the alligator but I hope they are both safe......alligator is beautiful ❤️
this is so wholesome, honestly the gators cute
Seen it all now! But it makes him happy.
“Chillin w alligator watching football eating Cheetos and chicken wings”
"You don't wake up when you have an alligator on your face?!" 💀💀💀
I love this! ❤️
Rest in peace baby wally ☹️
I would like to meet him, some day. 🐊
Listen I love reptiles and they deserve a helluva lot more respect but even I was like “he should probably tape the mouth shut if he’s going to let strangers near it” (from what I’ve heard it’s completely safe if the tape is the right brand and not too tight) but then I saw him literally stick his hand in the little guys mouth and I’ve never been so shook while being wrong, that is amazing. I never thought I’d see an alligator that chill
Fun fact:Wally's brain stopped developing at a time so he doesn't have survival instincts.
God Bless them
My neighbor's dog knows that I have depression, yet he still tries to bite me.
That's because he/she knows you intend harm on it or its family.
@@yelleryoung5870 huh
How tf a dog knows you have depression?
I’m actually so sad that this alligator got abandoned by some asshole, I hope the two of them can reunite someday
I love it. Beautiful ceatures.

He is claiming it is a service animal by taking it in public.
the perfect stuffed animal thats real
Ohhhhh I love Wally
What a fren!
Animals can feel love, and give love...
No reason to hate on this.... this is actually pretty cool
Alligator 🥰
Bro, I thought it was a joke, but there’s actually a video of him letting it swim with kids in a pool.
I want to hug a gator so bad.
Help Joe reunite with Wally , please give Wally back if you have Wally, , he is desperately missed🐊💕
😮 everyday is full of surprises such as this
When I see videos like this I cannot help but think of movies like Lyle Lyle Crocodile.
They got one person in Louisiana who has a baby alligator but it's illegal here to have them as pets
this reporter is the dame dude that reported about an old man meeting a young girl and fell in love, that's the only other segment I saw of him and he has a very distinctive look
Wally looks so cute.
Never forget what they took from us.
Wow ❤❤❤
Special family❤
Come home Wally
You could hear the guy was smiling at the end
The swamp pupper
Cutest thing ever ngl o man
I would love him
A group of people stole Wally and dumped him in a swamp.. This poor man is looking for him. I hope they find him.
I just love to watch how the news report this gator lol
I can say wally is a rare case of being well tamed, but still most alligators be quite dangerous as a pet. Even if you raise it with kindness and love, someday they might bite you back.
Wally isn't just tame, he has a neurological disorder where he doesn't know how to snap. If he wasn't hand-fed, he would starve.
@@crazyjkass- Okay. Now that is such a better explanation than “He’s just super friendly and unusually tame”.
I hope Wally is found.
Walt Disney put some Xanax in the water to keep the gator chilling out
this one got permanent damage
Where is the dodo Channel when you need it
Wally needs a youtube
What a delightful friendship. But, please remember that wild animals are not pets. If they were I'd have a house full of big cats.
I adore that gator.
❤❤❤❤❤❤
O and by the way what happens when Wally wants a snack when they are sleeping in bed together at night 😂
Who else came here to hope that Joe finds Wally?
Its a Disney Alligator so obviously lol
Did he ever get Wally back he was stolen from him in ga earlier this year
What happens when he finds out people taste like chicken?
Giving him Cheetos, and keeping him in a small tub is not good.
Tonight during the Phillies game he and Wally were denied entry into the game against the Pirates SMH.
Yes I seen that on the news
Because he is NOT a service animal. Emotional support animals are NOT allowed in public.
It was the right call to deny him entry.
Even though this may be the world’s gentlest alligator…it’s still an alligator.
Where do we draw the line?
Hippo’s
Ostrich
Hyena’s
Well that’s definitely a new one! The warning (don’t try this at home) is duly noted. I doubt I would see one around anyway. I would have loved to hear some reactions from the townspeople. Aside from the toddler who screamed and ran for mama!

id say he has a 1 out of 1k chance of survival 1 out of 10k chance they bring him back
Sorry but all domestic predator animals have little chance of survival once released back to the wild
Please find Wally!
Man that's so cool 👍
