That sounds like you make what we call a 'pig in a blanket'

edit to amend; it sounds a bit like pig in a blanket. That would do good on sales, a mini two-bite hot dog

Some of our worst dogs are made from chicken and pork scraps that are basically turned into the same mush as bologna, then shaped like a dog lol.

I call those 'training treats' for training my dog, especially when tracking. You slice them up really small and drop the bits on the track.
Heh. Serious dog people spend hundreds of dollars on high priced dog food, then give their dogs the cheapest treats imaginable...  

I very rarely eat hot dogs. There's a trailer at the local Canadian Tire that sells hot dogs, sausages and burgers, plus fries and a few other things during the nice weather. I always go for the sausages, which are really good. They come with free fried onions. The onions go on the bun FIRST. 

They have dozens of different toppings you can put on yourself - everything from sauerkraut to olives! If my favourite BBQ type sauce isn't available, I've been known to put some ketchup on the brat.

Standard dressing for a regular dog in my part of the world, is ketchup, mustard and green relish. We were pretty poor when I was growing up, so we often wrapped our hotdogs in a slice of white bread instead of buying buns.   

Edit: Chuck, your post at the top of this page seems to have disappeared? All I see is your name.

I sometimes play "hide the sausage" with my two Westies! I sometimes get some strange looks when I say that to people.

I cut up sausages into pieces and, once the dogs are out in the garden, I secrete the pieces around the house and amid great excitement they scurry around looking for them. It gives me great pleasure to watch them and I have to be vigilant to ensure the sharper of the two doesn't get them all.
