German shelter euthanized severely injured dog, suspecting abuse

A severely injured dog, Nougat, was euthanized at a German animal shelter due to the severity of his injuries and suffering. The shelter staff made the difficult decision after consulting with veterinarians. Nougat, a found dog, arrived emaciated with a severely damaged hip and an untreated broken ankle. The injuries, coupled with his history of being kept in a box and his owner having a pet ban, led to suspicions of abuse. The shelter explained the decision was made to end Nougat's suffering, emphasizing the irreversible nature of his injuries and the lack of prospects for a pain-free life, despite facing criticism.
