However, Rusty continued to help Davis herd cattle untillast week, when the 13-year-old dog lost its appetite. Davis took the dogto Iowa State University vets for tests.Rather than risky, painful surgery, Davis decided to put Rusty to sleep.Davis says the local vet and vets at I-S-U helped Rusty live longer thananyone would have expected.
