the german immigrants brought not just sausages but also dachshunds when they came to the united states. the name 'hot dog' possibly began as a joke about their thin, long and small dogs. in fact, the germans called their dish 'dachshund sausages' or 'little dog', thus connecting the term 'dog' to the hot dog.
