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”.
By one of those coincidences that one can only suspect was part of some vast and subtle linguistic conspiracy, the term hot dog had been invented about a year earlier in another context, as a term for a well-dressed young man (though it has since evolved, so that these days it suggests showing off, for example performing showy manoeuvres while surfing). This may have been borrowed from an older bit of American university slang, to put on (the) dog, to assume pretentious airs, whose first recorded use is also from Yale.
