That's wonderful - until Wally bits some old lady's face off.
I remember hearing one wildlife expert saying that alligators and crocs have the emotional life of a fluorescent light bulb...
I've been told that generally, alligators are much less aggressive than crocodiles, but still, I don't know about petting one - even a juvenile like that one.
Emotional Support Alligator Makes New Friends At Assisted-Living Facility
YORK, Pa. (CBS Local) — Meet Wally, a four-and-a-half foot long emotional support alligator with razor-sharp teeth who likes to make new friends.
Wally belongs to Joie Henney, host of Joie Henney’s Outdoors, a hunting and fishing show that ran from 1989 until 2000 on ESPN Outdoors, Fox and other outlets.
Henney recently took Wally, on a leash, to the Glatfelter Community Center at the Village at Sprenkle Drive, an assisted-living development north of York, Pennsylvania. Henney told them his gator has never bitten at anyone and is even afraid of cats, the York Daily Record reported.
“I’m not scared of snakes,” one woman said as she cautiously approached to have her picture taken with Wally, “but that thing has a lot of teeth.”
Wally may not be as soft and cuddly as support dogs, but Henney encouraged her to pet Wally, saying he particularly likes the top of his head rubbed.
“He’s just like a dog,” Henney told her. “He wants to be loved and petted.”

I can imagine that doesn't look much different from when Augusta was a baby... she ate so many carrots and sweet potatoes she took on a distinct orangey hue...
I wonder if it was just tetracycline...
