A Scottish man is facing hate crime charges after he posted a video of himself training his girlfriend’s pet pug to do a Nazi salute and respond to anti-Semitic commands.
The video shows the pet pooch Budda 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 more than 1.8 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:
