When a tiny piglet was born with malformed rear legs, he was brought into a local vet to be euthanized. Not only did that vet, Dr. Len Lucero, not euthanize the pig, he brought him home and made him his pet. Named Chris P. Bacon (say it out loud — you'll get it!), he now has a life far better than most pigs could ever hope for. When he got bigger — and much, much heavier — he wasn't as able to drag himself around with his front legs, so he learned to use a dog wheelchair and gets around just fine.
Now, he serves as an inspiration to children with special needs. Not only does he visit hospitals, but he has a whole line of books, toys and more that show kids that handicaps don't mean you're limited at all.
