The hotdog came by it's name from the cartoonist T.A. Dargan. It seems that in Germany the "sausage" was named the "dachsund sausage" after the butcher inventor who had a dachsund dog. This butcher in Frankfort thought the "sausage" looked like his dog. In 1871 Charles Feltman, the German butcher came to the United States and opened a stand in Coney Island in New York City. Mr. T.A. Dargan, the cartoonist noticed that Mr. Feltman after burning his hand several times handling the sausage started using a milk bread roll to wrap the "sausages" in. Mr. Dargan the cartoonist decided to illustrate this. Mr. Dargan was not a very good speller and could spell "sausage" but wasn't sure of the spelling of "dachsund" so he simply called it a "hot dog". It is said that Mr. Feltman was very successful in his business, selling over 3,000 "dachsund sausages" or hot dogs his first year.
