In South Florida, a man is battling to keep his beloved pet alligator, “Gwendolyn,” who has been by his side for an incredible 47 years. Unlike the typical image of a dangerous reptile, Gwendolyn is known for his quirky personality and unusual love of pizza, making him more like a companion than a wild animal. For the man, Gwendolyn is family, and their decades-long bond is at the heart of his fight.
Critics point out the irony that wealthy or famous individuals can keep exotic pets, often in poor conditions, while this lifelong caretaker faces the risk of losing his. After nearly half a century together, the plea is simple: allow Gwendolyn to remain where he belongs—with the person who has loved and cared for him all these years. The story raises important questions about animal ownership, responsibility, and the bonds that blur the line between wild and domestic life.
