Answers:
Hot dogs were frequently known as frankfurters or franks, but the name "hot dog" became popular by the early 1900s. The origin of this name is not precisely known, but at that time hot dogs were often marketed as "dachshund sausages" since they resemble the dog breed of that name. Hot dog lore suggests that newspaper cartoonist Tad Dorgan coined (or at least popularized) the term "hot dog" when he used it it in the caption of a 1906 cartoon illustrating sausage vendors at the Polo Grounds baseball stadium because he couldn't spell "dachshund." However, this rumored cartoon has never been located. While "hot dog" remains by far the most commonly heard term in spoken language, people buying them in grocery stores need to know that they are still almost always labelled as "franks", which is rarely heard in actual speech.

In 2001 the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council stated that others assert the hot dog was created in the late 1600s by Johann Georghehner, a butcher living in the German city of Coburg. Others have also been "acknowledged" for supposedly inventing the hot dog. Charles Feltman and Antonoine Feuchtwanger are among this group.

It's because they look like dog's tails.

"Why Did They Name It?" They actually were called "hot dachshund sausages" because they resembled those dogs, I guess. A cartoonist at the baseball game heard someone yelling about "hot dachshund sausages" and apparently wanted to make a cartoon out of it. However, rumor was he couldn't spell dachshund so he called them "hot dogs" instead. It's stuck ever since.
