TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — If you’ve always wanted a robot pet or just want to own a flame-thrower, now you can have your robot dog and set things on fire too thanks to Throwflame.

The Ohio-based company is selling the Thermonator, a robotic dog with a back-mounted flame thrower, which the company says can “send streams of fire up to 30 feet with the push of a button.”

Video shared on Throwflame’s Facebook page shows the Thermonator walking through a wooded area spewing flames and even jumping around.

Those worried about the legality of owning a flame-throwing robot dog can rest assured flamethrowers are legal in 49 states in the U.S. Only Maryland bans the device outright, though California does require you have a permit to use them, the Miami Herald reported in August 2022 .

If you want your own fire-throwing dog, the dangerous robotic pet is available on Throwflame’s website for $9,420.
