July 23. National Hot
Dog Day. Yum. Did you know that hot dogs were the first
food eaten on the moon? Yup. And that the average American eats 50 hot
dogs a YEAR?!
While many think of hot dogs as an “All American” food –
they actually originated in Germany. Although
hot dogs are NOT known to be the healthiest food, I must confess, if my human
wants me to learn a new trick – I will do just about ANYTHING for a tiny piece
of hot dog. True- any kind of food works
– but to REALLY get my attention – like at a dog show, a tiny piece of a
frankfurter works WONDERS. A piece of
hot dog makes ME a hot dog!
The world's longest hot dog was made in 2006 in Japan - it was 197 feet long. Is that not a PON dream come true?!
You CAN make your hot dog dining experience a BIT more
healthy – by checking for nitrate and sodium levels on the package. But honestly, that’s a human thing. Like I said before, we canines will eat
anything!
So have a dog on me today – but hold the mustard!
