“Wally will close his eyes and enjoy it just like a dog does.” “When you rub the top of Wally’s head, it’s like petting a dog,” says Henney. Henney encourages people to rub the top of Wall’s head.

“His favorite show is ‘Swamp People’ and his favorite movie is ‘The Lion King’” says Henney. Henney says that Wally loves to watch television. He’ll do his best to get to that person to comfort them.” “He can also sense when folks are not feeling well. “Wally helps me keep my spirits up,” says Henney.
Luna is still a very young gator who has her own area, too. But she has her own gated area which protects her.
Unfortunately, Hope is disabled, having recovered from a broken back and leg. Henney also rescued two other gators which share his home-Hope and Luna. Wally also loves his 300-gallon pond which Henney has in the living room and which he shares with Scrappy, another gator who Henney rescued. Henney says Wally, “is just like a dog.” Wally, who is now 5 feet long, follows Henney and girlfriend Liz Caswell around the house, sleeping on “his” couch and lying in bed. “You still have to be careful around him.” “But he’s still a wild animal,” cautions Henney. Henney says Wally eventually became as domesticated as he would become. He made it a point to pick Wally up on a regular basis, showering kisses and hugs, and soon Wally began to feel more at home. “He snapped, and I had to feed him with tongs because I didn’t want to lose a finger” says Henney. Henney says when he first arrived at his home, little Wally was afraid of everything. “After Wally came to live with me, I began to feel so much better.” Over time, Henney realized how much the gator calmed him, and he decided to register Wally as an emotional support animal. “Wally was just over a year old when I brought him home,” says Henney, who suffers from depression. Henney, who had a hunting and fishing show on ESPN Outdoors, Fox and other outlets from 1989 until 2000, jumped at the chance to rescue a gator. “My friend rescues alligators and told me that a gator was rescued from a lagoon. “My friend called from Florida and asked me, ‘Do you want a gator?’” says Joie Henney. Wally’s journey from Florida to Pennsylvania began in 2015. Now four years old and 35 pounds, Wally has become world famous, having greeted visitors from all over the world who have come to visit, record, televise, and personally pet him.
Once a tiny gator who nobody wanted, Wally, has graduated into a new role as an emotional support animal. However, at the time this episode was produced, it was sometime in mid-2001, sometime before the events of the September 11th attacks.Many folks in Harrisburg and York can now boast that they’ve hugged or even kissed an alligator thanks to Wally. At the time this episode aired (July 12th, 2002), The Twin Towers in real life, had already been destroyed.
Wally Gator was shown falling on The Twin Towers, and was presumably about to crush them, before being saved by the Powerpuff Girlz Xtreme.In The Powerpuff Girls, Wally Gator is depicted as a gigantic version of himself, who lives in New York, unlike his original self, who was normal sized and lived in a generic, fictional town.Just then, the Powerpuff Girlz Xtreme flew in to save him, before he caused any damage, and landed him safely on another island. In " Knock It Off", a giant monstrous alligator was walking through New York City in his way to work, but he tripped on the Island of Manhattan and nearly landed on the Twin Towers. He made a cameo in The Powerpuff Girls episode, " Knock It Off". He is an anthropomorphic alligator, who lives in the zoo, and always keeps escaping. Wally Gator is the titular character from the Hanna-Barbera cartoon of the same name.
