I had to know more about this, so I read about it.
The man who is emotionally supported by the alligator is 65. It sounds like he has cancer and depression and the alligator makes him happy so a doc decided to label him an emotional support alligator. What an entitled group of people those boomers are. :D (Sorry I had to say it.)
