Somebody(A) lets their dog run at large. It's running down some rarely used country back road and gets hit by a speeding vehicle(B). This happens near a residence(C) The dog is so badly injured that some of it's innards are hanging out and it is slowly loosing blood. The most it can do is move its head because so many other bones are broken. (C) doesn't return home for another three hours. It is 10PM. The nearest vet is about four hours away and out of town. It is a holiday weekend and any other clinic won't be open for another two days. (C) knows nothing of medical care. The dog is laying in it's own pile of blood and guts, but is still alive but clearly suffering.
...This is where i would say there is such a thing as humanely shooting an animal. Feel free to disagree with me, but that is my opinion.

Please, if your dog is arthritic look into getting it Elk Velvet Antler. Look up my posts on it, PM me, or look it up on a search engine; but please if you love your dog and want it to live many more years consider this option. I've seen so many posts on here about dogs needlessly suffering. I can't make a new post about EVA every time so this plea is going here. EVA also helps with other ailments such as anemia.
