UPDATE: Freewheeling Pig Chris P. Bacon Goes World Wide

Since we first met Chris P. Bacon here two weeks ago he's launched a new website and hit the Big Apple.

Your favorite story so far this month on Nashua Patch was the story of a little Florida piglet named Chris P. Bacon, born with malformed hind legs, who has found an alternative way of getting around. Well, that story – and Chris P., have taken off.

You know, when pigs fly...

Anyway, the Nashua connection to Chris P. Bacon is that he was fitted with a wheelchair manufactured by a Nashua company, handicappedpets.com, after his "dad," Florida veterinarian Dr. Len Lucero, heard about the adaptive dog wheelchair business at a trade show.

Since then, Chris P. has launched a website, a Facebook page, and a Pinterest page, has appeared on national television Feb. 16 and even found a Facebook Valentine named Lilly.

You can watch as he gives the Today Show hosts a run for their money – squealing the whole time because he was probably miffed once he found out he was billed as "Pork Roll" on their Saturday morning segment.
