His emotional support animal is an alligator. They sleep in the same bed. (Not Florida man)
https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/His-emotional-support-animal-is-an-alligator-17405394.php
Joseph Henney's emotional support animal WallyGator goes with him almost everywhere, from the grocery store to walks in the park. They hug each other and sleep in the same bed. WallyGator is an alligator.
The two watch television together on the couch, and when Henney takes him to the farmers market, WallyGator gives hugs to shoppers - as long as they are OK with being that close to a 70-pound reptile with a mouth full of razor-sharp teeth.
Henney filled out an application on the U.S. Service Animals website, and once it was approved, he received a certificate along with a harness and leash for his alligator. WallyGator is required to be certified every year, he said.
People were surprised when they learned that Henney's alligator had joined the ranks of the emotional support peacock and donkey, he said. He has been known to dress him in a tuxedo and sunglasses, and sometimes even a hat.

Fortunately, there are no plans for the alligator to fly a plan

It's a reptile. It doesn't have much more than a brainstem for instinctive survival behavior.....I think.
