A call centre worker who made a video where his pet pug did a Nazi salute in response to the words, ‘Sieg Heil’ has been arrested.
The video shows a pug watching Hitler’s speeches, jumping up when it hears the words: “Gas the Jews”, and doing what appears to be a salute.
Markus Meechan, a 28-year-old from North Lanarkshire in Scotland, made the video as a prank to annoy his girlfriend.
“My girlfriend is always ranting and raving about how cute her dog is so I thought I would turn her into the least cute thing you could think of which is a Nazi,” he said in the YouTube video, which has been viewed nearly one million times.
Mr Meechan was arrested last month on suspicion of hate crime and spent a night in jail, according to the Daily Mail.
Police said the video was highly offensive. Move on to the next page to view the video:

I don’t think it’s so bad, read some of the comments in the YouTube video, humor is a way to keep the past remembered without crying and feeling sorry for yourself.
