German man charged with teaching dog Hitler salute
A German man is to appear in court charged with teaching his dog to give the Hitler salute.
The black sheepdog-mix, named Adolf, has been taught to lift his right front paw up straight in the salute on command.
Police were called to the scene in Berlin when Roland T, 54, shouted at passers-by last year.
When a patrol arrived, he allegedly showed them the trick he had taught his dog, gave the salute along with Adolf, and shouted: "Sieg Heil."
Now he has been charged with using symbols of unconstitutional organisations. If found guilty, he faces up to three years in prison.
Adolf will probably be brought to a pet shelter, the Berliner Kurier reports.
Carola Ruff, of the local animal protection organisation, says the dog shouldn't be judged for what its owner taught it.
"It makes me sick to think someone's using his dog as an instrument of his deranged brain," she told the paper.

Are they made because he used symbols of unconstitutional organisations or were they mad because of the way they used them?

Buncha wimps. It's just a symbol. Reminds me of the stink that was made a few years back when a synchronized swim team allegedly included a goose step in their routine (which was barely visible on TV). What do they do if you comb your hair over one eye? Shoot you?

A German man who taught his dog Adolf to give a Hitler salute by raising his right paw has been charged with violating Germany's anti-Nazi laws, a Berlin court said on October 15, 2003. Police investigated after members of the public complained they had seen the man giving the stiff-arm 'Hitler salute' and telling his dog: 'Adolf sit, give me the salute!,' a court spokeswoman said. The man and his dog pose for photographers in Berlin Wednesday. (Tobias Schwarz/Reuters)
