Man’s best friend…but this one is not going to cuddle up on the couch with you.
This takes watch dogs to the next level. A company called Throwflame is selling Robot dogs with FLAMETHROWERS attached to their head….called the “Thermonator.” These dogs can do way more than just be a guard dog though. The company lists 8 different things they are good for…including
include controlled burns . . . ice and snow removal . . . clearing weeds . . . pyrotechnics or entertainment . . . and also pest removal. You operate it over WiFi or Bluetooth with a remote control, and it can shoot flames up to 30 feet. The “Thermonator” sells for $9,400. And, is…
Crazy But True!
