I think I could die happy if I saw you do that even once. I think the hitler saluting dog is funny. But the guy’s a bit of a nutjob, isn’t he?

That’s what I get for trusting CNN. I can’t seem to find a retraction, however - can you give me a cite saying it’s a spoof?

It was on the UK news just now as real, with pictures and everything. Google news doesn’t have any retractions either. I’d say it is actually real.
