Dog duct-taped, left for dead on side of road in Spring euthanized

SPRING, Texas – It was a disturbing discovery for Jana Nguwen on the side of a road in northwest Houston on Monday.

Nguwen, who spotted the dog, said, "My daughter was like, 'Mom there's a dog,' and I looked and the dog in between all the trash (was) laying there with duct tape and bleeding."

The helpless German shepherd was found barely moving, and police said it was likely left for dead near Kuykendahl and Ella.

Nguwen flagged down an officer to help the scared dog, still shaken by the scene.

"Tried to help him and stuff, I was crying. It was really hard to see. Crying really bad," said Nguwen.

Officers also quickly made the scene to care for the dog and took her to the vet to be worked on.

We have learned that the dog was humanely euthanized due to the extent of her injuries.
