Hot dogs were frequently known as frankfurters or franks, but the name "hot dog" became popular by the 1890s. In the 1830s, it was widely rumored that the dogs that roamed urban stg sandwich" was used. The 1860s popular song "Der Deitcher's Dog" (written by Septimus Winner and known by the lyrics "Where oh where has my little dog gone?") contained:
Und sausage is goot: Baloney, of course,
Oh! where, oh! where can he be?
Dey makes ‘em mit dog, und dey makes ‘em mit horse:

"Hot dog" first came into use in an old joke involving a dog's "pants" (the verb "pant" substituted for the noun). The following was widely reprinted in newspapers, from at least 1870: "What’s the difference between a chilly man and a hot dog? One wears a great coat, and the other pants." The October 18, 1894 University of Michigan humor magazine The Wrinkle contained this on the cover page: "Two Greeks a 'hot dog' freshman sought. The Clothes they found, their favors bought." "Hot dog" meant a stylish dresser, someone who was sharply attired. A popular phrase was "puttin' on the dog."

The hot dog begins 3,500 years ago with the Babylonians, who stuffed animal intestines (Dogs!) with spiced meats. Several civilisations adopted, modified, or independently created the dish; the Greeks called it orya, the Romans, salsus, the origin of our word "sausage".

Franks and Weners were sold at a stall in Coney Island, Brooklyn, by a german immigrant. Someone joked that they were made with dog meat and the name stuck.

Because what they are really made up of would not appeal to consumers if they named them as such.
Hotdog weiners are made up of ground up leftover parts from animals such as hoolfs, beaks, bones, ears, tails, eyes, penises, and lips.
Makes you think next time you will buy yourself a hotdog.

well you need to think what might hotdogs be made of.....I don't think its any kind of meat (well prob a mix of all the left over rubbish) - I think its to do with the fact that a daschund (sausage dog) is the same shape and we serve them hot.....thus we have a hot dog!!

It apparently came from WW1.
A French delicacy appreciated by the US soldiers was a warm thin baguette stuffed with a saucisson called andouillette. It became know as Andouille. Andouillle quickly became Hot-dog with the US soldiers.
