Giro

"Giro the Nazi Dog is the only Nazi memorial in London. Giro was owned by Dr Leopold von Hoesch who was the German Ambassador in London from 1932 to 1936. Giro died in 1934 from accidental eletrocution (contact with an exposed wire) and although it may seem absurd, he was given a full Nazi burial. The small tombstone has the German epitaph "Giro: Ein treuer Begleiter" which means "Giro: A true companion". " [from: http://golondon.about.com/od/londonforfree/fr/GirotheNaziDog.htm Waterloo Place, London
