Joie Henney from Pennsylvania suffers from depression following the death of his three close friends. While people with mental health problems turn to medication and self-help, Joie claims to use an emotional support alligator. The five-foot-long alligator is named Wally and was approved by Joie’s doctors. Wally was rescued from Orlando when he was still 14 months old. Now, he’s 4 years old.

Despite being an emotional support animal, Joie knows that Wally can inflict harm at any moment because he’s a wild animal. For now, Joie describes the animal like a big teddy bear who likes to snuggle and give him hugs.

In the past, students who lived in college dormitories used to leave their pets at home. Now, we can see that more and more students request to have their cat or dog accompany them to campus, and these animals are labeled “emotional support animals.” ESAs are known to provide therapeutic benefits to their owners suffering from an emotional disability such as anxiety or depression.

Administrators at Temple University say that the number of requests for emotional support animals increased from 6 requests to 20 requests in one year. While there is the likelihood of fraud behind these requests, still, college administrators have a hard time denying these requests because they’re for mental health.

A large Alaskan Malamute was photographed on a China Southern Airlines flight. The dog is an emotional support animal and was allowed to accompany its owner. It was given its own seat free of charge.

As you can see from the snapshot above, the emotional support dog showed his best behavior on the flight. It sat quietly, and this garnered praise from social media users who made the dog’s photo go viral. A person even commented, “Compared with annoying kids who keeps kicking other people’s seats or old people who talk loudly, I’d rather sit with a service dog!”

It’s not uncommon to hear stories about emotional support animals getting denied. For example, the emotional support peacock at Newark Liberty International Airport in New Jersey. Another is about a 21-year old student who flushed her dwarf hamster because the airline didn’t allow the animal.
