In 2011, a pig with a congenital defect made the news and captured the attention of people across the globe.

The hog, which is owned by a farmer in China, has no hind limbs; however, it learned how to walk using its front legs. The man said villagers delight in seeing the animal tread “like an upside down gymnast.”

Then came Zhu Jianqiang (a swine who could do the same stunt) and Chris P. Bacon. These pigs acquired the same birth defect. Nonetheless, they both became celebrities locally and internationally. Chris P. Bacon, however, later received a wheelchair to help increase his mobility.

Recently, another physically disabled piggy is receiving the same attention on social media. In the video, the energetic piglet walks on its front legs as it explores its surroundings.

Although viewers had mixed reactions after watching the clip, many of them loved the adorable, vibrant porker. The footage garnered 53K views and more than one thousand shares on Facebook to date.

Is it because it’s inspiring to see the piglet live an active life despite its condition? Perhaps.

In many dangerous confrontations, police officers aren’t given much choice when they’re shot at. In some instances, there is loss of life.

A new invention from a California-based company, Alternative Ballistics, can bring down death statistics from these confrontations. They’ve developed a clip-on gun attachment called The Alternative.

Some of us associate beauty with how one looks good with make up on, eyebrows on 'fleek' or how your chic outfit complements your favorite Mac lipstick. But beauty isn't only about a person's physical attributes. Rather, it is how you see or carry yourself--about feeling beautiful regardless of what other people think or say.

Despite being born with a facial tumor called cystic hygroma which left her unable to speak, YouTuber and beauty blogger Marimar Quiroa is redefining beauty and inspiring us to love and accept ourselves despite our imperfections.
