Ohio company to sell a 'flamethrower-wielding robot dog' called the Thermonator

What has four legs and can breathe fire? According to Throwflame, an Ohio-based company that manufactures flamethrowers, its latest invention features a 30ft firing range, light detection and range mapping, as well as laser sighting, aboard a battery-powered thing with legs that can jump around. Touted as "your ultimate firepower companion", the robot's uses include wildlife control and prevention, agricultural management, ecological conservation, and snow and ice removal, as well as entertainment and special effects, Throwflame said. For just 9,420 and in the absence of a pet dragon, you can have your own fire-breathing best friend of canine appearance. However, not everyone is onboard.
