The image is disturbing and the act itself is just cruel and horrific!
A tragic story has been making the rounds on Facebook for years, and this time of year it's always re-shared. You can see a dog, more precisely a German Shepherd, whose face was blown up by a firecracker.
According to our research, the picture came from Bosnia and was taken in 2011, 8 years ago. In many forums and websites you can find information that the dog was a victim of two drunk teenagers. You can also read this on Facebook.

Facebook itself is now issuing a warning about the horrific sight and has hidden the image and is warning its users about it with the following words: “We have hidden this photo so that you can decide whether you want to see it.”

“According to witness statements, German Shepherd Vucko became the victim of two drunken teenagers in Bosnia in 2011 who made a joke: They shoved a firecracker into the animal's mouth, wrapped adhesive tape around it and set off the firecracker. As you can see in the picture, his entire upper jaw was blown away.

Parts of the firecracker were still stuck in the dog's head when he was found by animal rights activists days later, insane with pain and unable to eat or drink, and taken into custody. His face was now infested with maggots. The poor animal was put to sleep.”
And that's the case. Vucko was euthanized after this horrific incident. The trail is lost on the internet and we have not yet been able to find out whether the perpetrators were caught and what punishment they received.
