It fucking astounds me as an Australian that Americans can just... buy shit like this. Anything fun gets immediately banned here.
It might be fun but I also wouldn't want this in the hands of stupid people.
Americans can't even tell people what gender their kid will be without setting a forrest on fire, now they want flamethrower dogs?
I couldn't give a shit nor be bothered to worry any some imaginary scenario that's going to happen less often than a lightning strike.
People dumb enough to buy flamethrower dogs setting a whole state on fire is an imaginary scenario?
Roofing flame throwers have been a thing for 40 years. We not suddenly going to see a bunch of new accesses to these tools. They said the same exact shit about the not a flamethrower and here we are not burning alive from fires started by them.
Just pop over to Bunnings and make your own. Don't forget the snag going in and out. Gotta support those local charities and sport teams.
