The HotDawg Company addresses a genuine problem (pet safety on hot pavement) with its 'Thermo-Leash' concept. However, the project appears to be stalled or abandoned, with a website reflecting updates from 2019-2020 and a 'Kickstarter launching' status that has likely passed. The submission contains significant red flags, including false traction claims ('most people have used my product') and confusing financial data ('marketcap: 50000'). Currently, this represents a dormant concept rather than a functional business.
