There is useful suffering and useless suffering. If a dog is suffering and there is no chance of it getting better, I think the best thing is for it to be put down. In that case, that's useless suffering, and that's really selfish in my opinion. I have an aunt who just won't let her dog go even though he has no strength to even stand up and when he does, he can't even stand up and has to drag himself around... It's so sad. He looks so sad. She doesn't even look at him anymore because she knows what she's doing is wrong and yet she's too selfish to let her loved pet go painlessly instead of forcing it to stay with her.
