![]() But the trick a German man taught his canine companion was much more sinister... it learned to do a Nazi salute. ![]() The German Shepherd crossbreed, called Adolf, lifted its paw up high on command in imitation of the infamous raised-arm greeting used by Hitler and his cohorts. The nine-year-old dog's owner, known as Roland T, boasted brazenly in front of police about the animal's trick - even though the Nazi salute is banned in Germany. And the 58-year-old former car salesman chalked the name "Adolf" above the door of his pet's kennel in Berlin. ![]() He claimed the dog was born on Hitler's birthday and he planned to have him put down on the anniversary of the dictator's suicide. ![]() This, he said, was because he could not afford dog food after being fined for other Nazi-related behaviour. ![]() Roland had been handed suspended sentences by courts since 2003 and was said to be notorious for openly giving Nazi salutes and wearing pro-Hitler T-shirts. ![]() Judges were previously lenient because of a brain injury he suffered in 1995. But they jailed him for five months over the dog salute. ![]() Adolf has now been taken to an animal shelter, where staff have renamed him Adi. ![]() Spokesman Evamarie Konig said: "We are retraining him to stop him raising his leg too high. "He doesn't have anything that would make him interesting to Right-wing extremists. "However, we think he will quickly find a new owner because he is so famous."
