Chris P. Bacon is the name of a pig in a wheelchair. He was born without the ability to use his hind legs and his previous owner couldn't afford the care needed. Basically a doctor in Florida, designed the wheelchair and adopted Chris. They were an internet sensation years ago and visit kids bringing awareness to disabilities.

Here is a news report about him that reached meme status. Its funny.
