Disabled piglet uses toy wheelchair

Tuesday, 19 February 2013



A ten-day-Old piglet has learned how to walk using a wheelchair made out of toys!

Chris P Bacon was born with defective back legs, which means he cannot walk on them. To help him get around, his owner Dr Len Lucero has made him a harness and a two-wheeled buggy out of K’Nex toy parts.

Dr Lucero took the piglet home from his veterinary surgery in Claremont, Florida, when his original owner brought him in not knowing what to do with him.

Using toy parts from his kids’ toys, Dr Lucero made the buggy and harness to help Chris P Bacon get around.

Videos of Chris P Bacon have become a smash on the internet, with thousands of piggy fans following his progress. Since the first videos were posted, a company specialising in wheelchairs for disabled pets has donated a wheelchair to Chris P Bacon.

At the moment the tiny piglet only weighs 0.9kg so the wheelchair is too big for him, but he’ll soon grow into it.

Dr Lucero thinks Chris P Bacon is an American pot bellied pig and could end up weighing around 22kg, if not more.

without the wheelchair, this creature might be transformed into a crispy bacon. :)
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son (Jesus Christ), that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. - John 3:16-18
