Nazi pug: Man arrested after teaching girlfriend's dog to perform Hitler salute as a 'prank'



Telegraph said:
A Scottish man who provoked outrage after filming his girlfriend's dog responding to Nazi slogans has been arrested by Lanarkshire police.

Earlier this year Markus Meechan uploaded a video of the dog, a pug named Buddah, responding to the phrase "gas the Jews," raising its paw in an imitation Nazi salute when it heard the words "Sieg Heil", and viewing footage of Hitler giving a speech.

In the Youtube clip, titled M8 Yer Dugs A Nazi, Meechan says: "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."
Telegraph said:
Detective Inspector David Cockburn of Lanarkshire CID said: “This clip was shared online and has been viewed almost one million times.

“I would ask anyone who has had the misfortune to have viewed it to think about the pain and hurt the narrative has caused a minority of people in our community.

“The clip is deeply offensive and no reasonable person can possibly find the content acceptable in today’s society.

“This arrest should serve as a warning to anyone posting such material online, or in any other capacity, that such views will not be tolerated.”

World has gone mad - people really believe arresting this man is in the public interest?

He's having a laugh with his Mrs, nothing more. Stop being professionally offended. (IMO of course)

Nice to know that they've sorted out all the serious stuff, so that they have time to pursue utter trivialities.

Saw this in the local paper, guy's a bit of a tube but not sure it's a matter for the police. Don't we have a long history of dark humour and mocking Nazis in this country. I can't help feeling we're becoming a little sensitive nowadays. Maybe I'm out of tune a wee bit

The Police in Scotland weren't kidding when they made this bizarre tweet a few weeks ago.

There's no need to inspector Cockburn. The cause is always the same - lack of lube.

I'm the most unsympathetic bd to all the SJW ste going on now, however, repeatedly filming yourself saying 'gas the jews' is probably a bit much nowadays, however - the dog saluting each time he said 'seig heil' on its own was funny. I'd say he overstepped the mark of decency, and stepped into offensive. It shouldn't warrant police getting involved, but I can see how it would offend.

Having seen the 'apology' video, I think the poor old pug was actually just reaching up in a vain attempt to help remove what could easily be mistaken of a large amount of shrapnel painfully embedded in its owners' faces.

Or doing the Pug Jedi Wave - "These are not the earlobe extensions or extensive tattoos I was looking for in an owner".


Smiler.

The Pug is at the top of the evolutionary ladder in that household. It's like something out of Men in Black.

If he's monetised it on Youtube, then he's on his way out of scrounging from his girlfriend and the state.
