In otherwords this was probably just a couple shots, if that - Not some hour long torture session with only a few inches of penetration.
That being said, if they were trying to "put it out of it's misery" there are far better ways than a bow. Most people have never shot one, let alone well enough to reliably dispatch an animal. If it were necessary, a gun would have been a far better choice. Heck, even an axe through the heart would be more efficient.
As others have said, it's pretty sad when a dog gets this much attention but women & children can be abused & nothing gets said or done.
