The term "dog" has been used as a synonym for sausage since at least 1884 ('A sausage-maker...is continually dunning us for a motto. The following, we hope, will suit him to a hair: "Love me, love my dog."') and accusations that sausage-makers used dog meat date to at least 1845 ("Dogs...they retails the latter, tails and all, as sassenger meat.")[9]
According to a popular myth, the use of the complete phrase "hot dog" in reference to sausage was coined by the newspaper cartoonist Thomas Aloysius "TAD" Dorgan ca. 1900 in a cartoon recording the sale of hot dogs during a New York Giants baseball game at the Polo Grounds.[9] However, TAD's earliest usage of "hot dog" was not in reference to a baseball game at the Polo Grounds, but to a bicycle race at Madison Square Garden, in the December 12 and December 13, 1906 editions of The New York Evening Journal dated December 12, 1906, by which time the term "hot dog" in reference to sausage was already in use.[10][9]
The earliest usage of "hot dog" in clear reference to sausage found by Barry Popik appeared in the 28 September 1893 edition of The Knoxville Journal.[10]
It was so cool last night that the appearance of overcoats was common, and stoves and grates were again brought into comfortable use. Even the weinerwurst men began preparing to get the "hot dogs" ready for sale Saturday night.
—28 September 1893, Knoxville (TN) Journal, "The [sic] Wore Overcoats," pg. 5
Another early use of the complete phrase "hot dog" in reference to sausage appeared on page 4 of the October 19, 1895 issue of The Yale Record: "they contentedly munched hot dogs during the whole service."[10]

maybe the word somehow came from that dog that's "long shaped" like a hot dog?

can't remember where i heard this but...because of the way they looked they were called dachshund sausages. since that was hard to spell and say they became simply "hot dogs".

Cause they put dog meat in some of them.
Like Labradors and Poodles.
Either that or it's dog meat.

because left over pig sounds bad?
actually, many nicknames in society make no sense, but catch on so much that people use it more than its actual name.
