糖心vlog archives: This is the story of Rusty, an Iowa farmer's 2-legged dog
Remember Rusty the two-legged dog?
Already beloved by his owners, the Australian red heeler captured the hearts of most Iowans after 糖心vlog told his story in 1993. That's when owner Bill Davis, of rural Greenfield, detailed the mowing incident that cost Rusty two of his four legs.
It didn't keep Rusty down for long, though. He learned to operate on just two legs and, believe it or not, Davis even clocked him running 17 mph.
Watch the video above for Rusty's story. Then watch the video below, from 1998, when Rusty survived another incident but lost more body parts.
