van down by the river User ID: 639216 United States 02/11/2013 04:46 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Chris P. Bacon was born without the use of his back legs, but has gotten pretty adept at running and playing using only his front trotters. In fact, as you can see in the video, he’s almost too good at it for the wheelchair to be any help — in his general excitement about being alive and being a tiny pig, he keeps hoisting his butt and the whole apparatus off the ground. But his owner says that the wheels have now been weighted down a bit, so it works better. Even without the wheelchair, which was built for him by veterinarian Len Lucero. Read more [link to grist.org] i couldn't help but get hungry when i heard his name. Then I kept picturing lettuce and a nice slice of heirloom tomato with a little mayo and ciabatta roll covering him all snugly like a bug in a rug. mmmm...chris p bacon |

Bet if they took those wheels off of him, he would learn to walk on his front legs and out pace them all!

He's so tiny. Is he a pot belly pig? Quoting: Nine's Is he your pig, Smilesun, or did you find the link and post it? If you want a tiny pet pig, get TEACUP Piggies . they are as small as a housecat. The pot bellies get bigger than dogs. TEA CUP is the breed you want. Look them up on youtube too. |
