An emotional support alligator named Wally, initially denied entry to the Phillies stadium, has now been allowed to attend a Philadelphia Flyers game.
The individual who brought Wally, a five-foot alligator, with him to the Phillies game claimed that Wally helps him manage his depression.
However, they were prohibited from entering Citizens Bank Park due to the venue’s policy, which only allows guide dogs, service animals, or service animals in training.
