    this is what the company behind this says it’s useful for:

    Wildfire Control and Prevention
Agricultural Management
Ecological Conservation
Snow and Ice Removal
Entertainment and SFX

    first two sound pretty reasonable to me, as someone with a very basic understanding of wildfire control.
    snow and ice removal, i mean it’s definitely gonna do that but i can’t think of any place where it would be necessary to use a robot dog for it.
    the last one’s self explanatory.

    i’d love to be optimistic and say that this robot will only get used for harmless or good deeds but i know this thing is already being retrofitted by cops to shoot tear gas or some bullshit
