A man who allegedly trained his dog to give a raised-arm Hitler salute has been charged with breaching Germany's strict anti-Nazi laws.
The dog's 54-year-old owner was questioned by police after members of the public in the Berlin suburb of Lichtenrade complained that they had see the two of them saluting together.
The dog, a German shepherd crossbreed named Adolf after the German dictator, is also said to have performed the trick in front of two policemen.
The man, named only as Roland T, is accused of wearing a T-shirt with a picture of Hitler and shouting Nazi slogans.
But Carola Ruff, of a Berlin animal welfare group, said there was nothing strange about Adolf's behaviour.
