We know you've heard of Dancing With the Stars. You've probably also heard of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars. But have you heard of Stars on Mars? You know, FOX's new reality tv show that takes celebrities to Mars to compete in missions.

Just to clarify, no they aren't actually going to the planet Mars, although that would be a very entertaining. Instead, the celebrities are in a simulated Mars-iverse that mimics what life is actually like there. In addition to the celebrities, there's also a dog on Mars! OK, once again not a real dog, but a robot dog.

Naturally people have been wondering where to buy the robot dog from Stars on Mars, so we tracked it down for you. You're welcome in advance. Just how much does a robot dog cost? Keep reading to find out!

Stars on Mars takes 12 celebrities (Lance Armstrong, Natasha Leggero, Marshawn Lynch, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Adam Rippon, Ronda Rousey, Tom Schwartz, Richard Sherman, Tinashe, Porsha Williams, Tallulah Willis, and Ariel Winter) and puts them in a simulated Mars where they compete in missions. But they're not out there in the universe alone: they have a dog with them, a robot dog that is.

Who makes the robot dog and how much does it cost?

The robot dog in question is RADDOG™ 2LE from AITX. The website says that RADDOG is a "purpose-built robot dog for law enforcement" and that you can send it "on missions and operate it remotely to observe perilous scenarios or examine hazardous situations from a distance." RADDOG weights over 60 pounds and is over 25 inches tall.

While the price isn't readily available, AITX CEO Steve Reinharz said, “Its exceptional performance as a 'force multiplier,' advanced communication capabilities, sleek design, and comparable low cost should make it very attractive to law enforcement agencies."

A similar robot dog by Boston Dynamics costs $74,500, although this one doesn't seem to be made specially to help with law enforcement. So, needless to say, although the robot dog is available for purchase, most fans probably won't be able to afford one.
