Here is proof they are harmless. And below, there is a link that they recognize their own names. In that link they are doing crocodile obedience training. Great stuff!

BBC News - Brazilian woman finds alligator behind sofa

Brazilian woman finds alligator behind sofa

A woman in Brazil was shocked to find an alligator hiding behind her sofa after heavy rains flooded her house in the town of Parauapebas, in Para state.
She said she was alerted to the reptile's presence by her three-year-old son, who was patting its head.
The woman snatched the child away and called the fire brigade, who trapped the 1.5m-long (5ft) alligator.
The firefighters said the family was lucky the reptile was not hungry.
Firefighter Captain Luiz Claudio Farias said it could have seriously hurt or even killed the boy.
Capt Farias said it was not uncommon for animals such as alligators and snakes to enter people's houses in towns such as Parauapebas which are built very near rivers and the rainforest.
He said the reptile had been released in a less populated area of the town.

To answer the other question....yes, you walk them with a harness to avoid a collapsed trachea. He is already piddle pad trained, so that is great! And he loves Yorkies too!

For lunch

Once summer is here you should bring him to Chicago and let him take a swim in the lagoon.

Oh my! I am having too much fun with this. Last night when I posted this it was right before bed and I couldn't stop laughing about it.

Now, the fun just continues!

Oh, by the way, did I mention I have a pool in my backyard? We are converting it to a swamp for little Alphie.

that was my first thought. My son-in-law had an iguna that bit off their very large black lab's tongue. I think an alligator could do a little more damage, especially to a Yorkie.

Maybe the yorkies are just the appetizer.
