I tend to eat very little beast, but this doesn't mean I don't appreciate a hot dog particularly around the Forth of July. On behalf of everyone who doesn't scream "Yay Meat" or who may be trying to cut a few calories from their Independence Day celebration allow me to offer an alternative hot dog.
Dog Selection
The most critical ingredient in this recipe is the dog. Puppies obviously work best based on their size, however temperament should be considered while making a selection. The little delicious morsel of a dog featured above, fits in a palm, has bright eyes and sweet folded ears. He's obviously very photogenic which is critical to this recipe.
Exhibit A.
The classic form of dog in bun is exemplified by the following wee pup in an generic hotdog roll. He's adorable, and low calorie. This is perfection.

Exhibit B.
This little pup's patriotic holder helps me better understand the integral linkage between dogs in buns and the Forth of July. I am particularly impressed with this photo since it was taken pre 9/11 and demonstrates patriotism before it became compulsory.
Yay America! B+
Exhibit C.
Don't do this, it's only marginally competent. First off it is in bad form to photo or video your pets with a distracting background. The linoleum flooring looks hideous. The dogs are already embarrassed about the bun carelessly tossed on a back and it's missing a good dog smile or anything to make it noteworthy.
Not so great actually, indeed. C- .
Exhibit D.
This is a cat or rather kittenburger. Fail. Did not follow Directions.
F.
