unlikely celebrity in Henan Province, China.
The 10-month-old animal, known by villagers as Zhu Jianqiang, which
means Strong-Willed Pig, was born with only two front legs, which it
now uses to walk on.
According to owner Wang Xihai, Zhu Jianqiang was one of nine piglets
born in a litter this January.
He recalls: 'My wife asked me to dump it but I refused as it's a life.
I thought I should give it a chance and unexpectedly it survived
healthily.'
Several days after Zhu's birth Wang decided to train the two-legged
female piglet to walk by lifting it up by its tail. 'I trained her a
while each day. After 30 days she could agilely walk upside down.'
Wang said his home has been besieged by visitors since the birth of
the pig, which currently weighs 110lbs. A circus even offered a high
price for the pig, but he refused to sell.
'She proved to us that no matter what form life is it should continue
to live on,' he said. 'I won't sell her no matter how much the offer
is.'
