Do you remember Chris P. Bacon? He was the little piggy who took the internet by storm after his owner made him a set of wheels out of K’Nex. Well, he’s back and this time, he’s cuter than ever...
Chris P. Bacon was born with a congenital defect which means that he can’t use his hind legs. Chris manages to get around the place by walking on his front feet only.
Earlier this month, Chris’ owner saw that moving was becoming increasingly difficult for little Chris, so he decided to try and help the little piggy out by making him a wheelchair out of K’Nex.
It worked and Chris was soon zooming around the place happily. However, as Chris got bigger, his makeshift wheelchair just couldn’t keep up with him. So it wasn’t long before he needed a new one.
In this video, Chris is being introduced to a proper, piglet-friendly chair that was donated to the little piggy by Walkin’ Wheels – a company that designs wheelchairs for disabled pets. He's still not big enough to fit into his 'big boy wheels' but we imagine it won't be too long before he's flying around the place again!
We think this is the perfect way to start the weekend. Isn’t Chris an absolute cutie?
