Prayers for Wally’s safe return!! So heartbreaking 💔 Wally is this man’s best friend, child, and support animal. So sad and cruel

It is not an emotional support animal.

@@janpatrickmadronero4719 Wrong. Emotional support animals do NOT interact with others out in public, they work for one person to their home. He is also NOT federally licensed, as that does not exist. Try again.

I feel horrible for what Mr. Joie Henney is going through. It was very cruel what they did to stole this precious and adorable alligator from him. He needs his emotional support and Wally is what he needs every single day of his life. I can understand perfectly well what this man is going through having depression myself, and yes, animals are a huge and critical part of helping people go through the process of healing and/or fighting depression. My heart goes out to Mr. Henney knowing about how critical help is needed dealing with depression. I hope that whoever has Wally, has a change of heart and return this lovely alligator back to him. As he said, no questions will be asked and no charges will be filed against this individual or individuals…..just take the reward money and leave. A very sad and heartbreaking news of Wally, he is such a loving alligator, adorable and very cute. Wally is a gentle reptile which is unusual for alligators. He is a very special creature who loves people. Prayers are with Wally and Mr. Henney and for the safe return of Wally, they both need each other’s companionship. ☹️🙏♥️😞

[@NoName6770-bb8ub]

From what I heard wally had wild life called on him because the moron placed him on someones yard as a prank. Which lead to wally being relocated to a swamp. Most likely wally will die from how small he is compared to the other alligators and the fact he has lived in captivity for awhile now.

[@Wanda-fr3hk]

Dear God please let this man find Wally😢

My thoughts and prayers are with you . I hope you you find Wally safe and sound.

This is really bad, even though he was originally a wild alligator. He stayed with this man for a very long time so if he was released into the wild, he probably would die because he relied too much on humans for food so he probably lost his ability to hunt

[@lydiamcpherson7925]

I'm so sad to hear the news that Wally is missing. He is such a sweet gator. Mr. Henny loves him so much. This is just so wrong. Please return Wally to his owner Joie. He has had him for 8 years. Prayers for Wally's safe return. 😭💔🙏

Sending out prayers that Joie and Wally are reunited. Emotional support animals are very important for well being, to both the animal and human. 🙏💓

No. The trapper won’t tell wheee he supposedly released him. Someone is lying somewhere.

😢 Trapper? 😭

[@arielleluana]

So sad 😞

[@TakeTheRide]

I feel so sorry for a Wally. He has to be hungry, and he doesn't know where he is. He's out of his territory. That's not fair to a pet. Where is Mr Wally. YHWH, please return him home safely. This gentleman should not have taken his PET to a place that it was left outdoors without supervision or he should have microchipped Wally. This is horrible.

[@cherylbouvier9626]

Wally is finally free. He is probably enjoying his freedom. 😊

[@tysk5729]

This is super sad, who ever thinks he freed wally doesnt understand, This gator probertly doesnt even know how to catch a fish It has like no survival instinct at al Lets hope it can scavange some food until it gets found

[@debbiesdeathpile]

Hopefully Wally was returned to the wild. Alligators are not pets

[@MG-pj2oo]

He was out shark fishing? You love this gator like family and then go out to hunt sharks? Unreal. I now officially only feel sorry for wally, not for his dad.

[@nathanriley6416]

He said shark fishing, not shark hunting. There is such a thing as catch and release.

[@cherylmccrea9272]

My doggies are here for me, too. I understand what you're going through. Pray in the name of Jesus at Wiley comes back how he's returned Jesus name.

[@bride4jesus0126]

Well you cannot bring an accepted pet from PENNSYLVANIA into a state of GEORGIA where its ILLEGAL & expect nothing to happen. That was STUPID to do without researching state laws. Being in that state at that time means violating local laws. If you don’t want consequences, don’t go where its illegal. Have them come visit you. 🤷🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ If he’s that important, it would behoove you to take all precautions by researching local laws & not putting him in danger. I pray Wally is okay. 🥺🤷🏼‍♀️😣

[@flickasmusic9274]

That still doesn't give anyone the right to take him! This man is devastated . If that's the case you take it to court and explore options you don't just take him!

[@jamessanders6788]

You are forgetting that someone stole the pet.
