A man who was convicted of a hate crime after he filmed a pet dog giving Nazi salutes and put the footage on YouTube has been given a £800 fine.

Mark Meechan was sentenced after a landmark ruling found him guilty of communicating a video which was "grossly offensive".

The 30-year-old has been given six months to pay the fine.
