A sicko mercilessly tossed a poor pup down a garbage chute in a Lower Manhattan high-rise this week -- a deranged act that left the dog so badly injured it had to be euthanized.

The injured dog was discovered just before 10:30 a.m. at the Gov. Alfred E. Smith Houses, a NYCHA complex below the Brooklyn Bridge, the NYPD said.
An employee who goes by Caretaker Jay was cleaning the compactor when he heard the pooch yelping, cops and residents say.
He rescued the dog, who had four broken legs, from the [rubbish] and passed it off to ASPCA for treatment-- but the abuse was too grievous for a recovery.
"Sadly, due to the severe medical injuries resulting in extreme suffering, this dog, an alleged victim of cruelty, was humanely euthanized to end the existing and ongoing pain," said Alyssa Flek, a spokesperson for the animal advocacy group.
Now, a haunting photo of the filthy dog -- nearly looking dead after it's life-saving rescue -- hangs in the lobby of the NYCHA building, imploring those with information to call the police.
There have been no arrests and the investigation is ongoing.
