Abigail was brought to the Pets First Wellness Center for lifesaving care. She received skin grafts and extensive wound therapy. Her veterinarian, Thomas Jackson, posited that her injuries indicated she may have been involved with dogfighting. After a couple of days, Frazier noticed the frequently changed bandages on Abigail's head resembled a bonnet. Frazier went out and bought some actual headbands, "then started placing them over her bandages," she said. Photos of the gussied-up survivor traveled around the internet, and Abigail's growing fan base began sending gifts of fancier hats. After nearly dying on the streets, Abigail now had a community. After a few weeks in the hospital, Abigail came home with Frazier and her husband. She convalesced with the family until June, when Abigail was finally ready to go into a permanent home. Abigail now lives in Fort Meyers, Florida, with 29-year-old Megan Steinke and her 37-year-old husband, Jason, as well as Tala, another rescue pittie. Steinke said in bringing Abigail home, it was clear she and her husband were getting more than a pet. They knew Abigail was positioned to help change negative perceptions about pit bulls, and to help show that dogs who've been through hell deserve a second chance. And not just that. Steinke also believes Abigail gives people hope for their own lives.
