— -- Three weeks ago, an adorable miniature pig named Miracle was born on a farm in Colorado. Miracle was born without his hind legs but the little piglet has proven to be a fighter.

Ari Smith, a mini pig breeder and founder of Colorado Cutie Pigs, didn't think that Miracle would survive without his back legs. But the piglet has adapted to his disability, getting around on his front legs instead.

"It was amazing to watch, because he doesn't know anything's wrong with him. He just thinks [how he walks] is normal," Smith told ABC News Denver affiliate KMGH.

Miracle has no problem trotting around the farm as he balances on his front legs, but Smith said she will have a wheelchair specially made for him.
