UK Man Arrested After Teaching Dog to Do a Nazi Salute When It Heard, ‘Sieg Heil’

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.”

“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,” Meechan says in the viral YouTube clip that has been seen hundreds of thousands of times.

The dog is then seen watching the 1938 Nazi propaganda film, “Olympia.”
