Because when people had leftovers in a restaurant they were too proud to admit that they wanted to take them home to eat for themselves so they used to say it was for their dog. So now we just call them doggie bags and we really know who is going to eat the leftovers anyway.

the original reason for a doggy bag was a customer at a restaurant to take home any leftover food from his or her meal that can be given to a dog.

It's a polite euphimistic way of taking home your "left-overs"; you can pretend you're taking them home for the dog.
