A month-old piglet from Florida, born without the use of its back legs, is now sporting a custom-built wheelchair to get around.

Chris P. Bacon has become an internet sensation after vet, Len Lucero, took pity on the creature's plight and built the contraption from a toy building kit.

Chris's exploits on YouTube have logged more than 474,000 views in two weeks.
