Internet celebrity and emotional support alligator, Wally, has been confirmed stolen and still missing from his Georgia home April 21st.
"Between 4:30 a.m. and 7 a.m., someone came in and stole Wally," Owner Joie Henney tearfully announced on TikTok Saturday.
"He is missing. He was taken out of an enclosure while we were visiting friends in Georgia. We need all the help we can get to bring my baby back," he pled, through tears. "Please we need your help."
Henney, who called himself "Wally-gator's dad," adopted Wally in 2015 when the wild animal was rescued in Florida at 14 months old.

Henney shared with the Philadelphia Inquirer in 2019 how Wally played a crucial role in his battle against depression following the loss of several close friends.
“He has never tried to bite no one,” Henney remarked.
Wally's social media is packed with videos and photos showing people treating the scaled creature like a child, cuddling with it, and even giving it kisses on its snout. Henney frequently takes his unique pet to meet-and-greets and children's birthday parties, where they pose for photos with the friendly reptile, according to the New York Post.
