"Woof! I'm Rusty, a nine year old kelpie and Dr Chris is my owner. I'm a country boy originally, but I had a tough upbringing and didn't really make it on the farm.
Yeah, things weren't looking good for me until Chris took me in. Since then, I've been living
it up in Bondi with my best mate Chris and hanging out. It's a dog life, but someone's got to
do it!"
Rusty, Medibank's 'Top Dog' Ambassador
Exercise
Just like we do, dogs need exercise to regulate their weight and to keep their heart in peak condition. Most dogs need to get out of the house at least once a day for some rigorous physical activity.
