Lexi The One-Eyed Pit Bull Leaves A Legacy Of Love Rainbow Bridge

Malka · Aug 22, 2014

It's impossible to know what Lexi's life was like before she was discovered tied up to a Brooklyn fence, bleeding from her eye and her nose.

Jackie O'Sullivan with Second Chance Rescue thinks Lexi's previous family might have become overwhelmed by medical needs, which were many -- Lexi had a massive tumor in her head -- and figured abandonment could offer the two-year-old's only chance.

"They probably tied her to that fence in the hopes that somebody would help her," she says.

Somebody did. In late March, Lexi was pulled from the New York City animal shelter by Second Chance, a New York-based pit bull rescue group that specializes in dogs who have been abused or neglected, or have serious medical needs. She was brought straight to the emergency veterinarian, who removed the dog's bum eye and as much of the tumor as could be gotten.

Then Lexi underwent three weeks of intense radiation treatment, after which she was fostered by veterinarians and staff from Faithful Friends Animal Hospital, who -- like everyone who came into contact with Lexi, either in real life or on her Facebook page, which has more than 62,000 fans -- had fallen in love.
