Man under suspicion of shaving swastika on dog
German police are investigating a 29-year-old man suspected of shaving banned Nazi symbols into his dog's fur. Public display of Nazi symbols is illegal in Germany. If found guilty, the man faces a jail term of up to three years.

The police noticed this when they arrived to the suspect's house. Given that the suspect's former girlfriend was afraid of him I am not surprised that he would do this.

From Dictionary.com: "Greek cross with arms bent at right angles, 1871 (later specifically as emblem of the Nazi party, 1932), from Skt. svastika-s, lit. "being fortunate," from svasti-s "well-being, luck," from su- "well" + as-, root of asti "(he) is," from root of L. esse "to be" (see essence). Also known as gammadion and fylfot. Originally an ancient cosmic or religious symbol thought to bring good luck. Use in reference to the Nazi emblem first recorded in Eng. in 1932. The Ger. word was Hakenkreuz, lit. "hook-cross.""
