MANCHESTER (AP) — A piglet born without the use of his rear legs is getting wheels thanks to a New Hampshire donor.



WMUR-TV reported the piglet, named Chris P. Bacon, was born Jan. 13. Since then, thousands have watched him ride around in a makeshift wheelchair online.



The owner, veterinarian Len Lucero of Clermont, Fla., said Chris P. Bacon was born with a congenital defect that makes his hind legs nonfunctional.



Lucero, who adopted the pig, met Lisa-Marie Mulkern of the Nashua-based Web site

handicappedpets.com at a veterinary conference in Florida. The Web site’s specialty is making handicapped pets mobile again.



Mulkern donated a new wheelchair to the pig. Mulkern said it is the first time her company used a wheelchair on a piglet.
