What Breed Is That?

A Chinese headmaster is in some deep trouble after a series of incidents led to his school burning to the ground. First the man secretly sold off about 1,000 trees that surrounded the school. The problem was, the trees did not actually belong to him at the time of the sale. The teachers at the school apparently noticed that there wasn't as much shade as there used to be and must have asked a few awkward questions. The wayward educator decided he needed to buy the teacher's silence, so he had two accomplices procure a couple of dogs to provide a nice meal for the teachers. That's when the trouble really started. One of the dogs burst into flames as it was being baked for dinner.

The headmaster, in the northeastern province of Heilongjiang, sold off a 1,000-tree arboretum surrounding the school on the sly, the newspaper said.

"In order to get the teachers not to tell anyone what he had done, on the afternoon of May 16, headmaster Meng got friends to obtain two dogs, which they proceeded to kill on the school grounds," the report said.

"He then told the teachers they would have dog meat to eat that afternoon," it added.

But the plan went awry when the dog being baked burst into flames and set fire to the school's main office and then the classrooms.

I think we need a name for this new breed of highly flammable pooch. Combustible collie? Fireball retriever? Spitz(fire)? Suggestions welcome in the comments.
