http://www.intheweedz.com/Newsbites/History%20of%20the%20Hot%20Dog.htm What seems to have happened is that near the end of the nineteenth century, around 1894-95, students at Yale University began to refer to the wagons selling hot sausages in buns as dog wagons. One at Yale was even given the nickname of 'The Kennel Club'. It was only a short step from this campus use of dog to hot dog, and this fateful move was made in a story in the issue of the Yale Record for 19 October 1895, which ended, "They contentedly munched hot dogs during the whole service."
