In ordinary times, the social media accounts devoted to Wally Gator document the nearly six-foot-long emotional support alligator's adventures around Pennsylvania: visiting nursing homes, splashing around in Philadelphia's Love Park fountain, meeting with the mayor and smiling contentedly in his red harness as various admirers hug and hold him.
In recent days, however, they've been overtaken with pleas for help: Wally is missing in Georgia, where his owner Joie Henney says he was kidnapped, recovered and released into a swamp.
