A man was arrested in the U.K. after he taught his dog, a pug, to do the Nazi salute after hearing the words “Sieg Heil.”

Markus Meechan, a 28-year-old call center worker, said he isn’t a racist, but was merely trying to annoy his girlfriend.

“I am not a racist at all, anybody who knows me could tell you that,” he told The Metro. “Honestly, I don’t hate anyone, the whole purpose of this was just to annoy my girlfriend.”
