NOW WITH WORKING SOUND
Markus Meechan, 28, insisted he was not a racist after Jewish leaders slammed him for releasing a shocking video which has been viewed almost one million times. The video shows him teaching a pug-breed dog named Buddha to jump up at the phrase "Gas the Jews" and to raise its paw in an imitation Nazi salute when it hears the words Sieg Heil. Mr Meechan, 28, from Coatbridge, North Lanarkshire, also filmed the two-year-old dog watching speeches made by Hitler on a TV screen. Now, after Jewish leaders slammed the outrageous video as "sickening", call centre worker Mr Meechan has issued a lengthy apology, insisting the video was meant as "shock comedy" in a bid to wind up his girlfriend.
