My favorite hot dog place, which is in one of my favorite vacation spots, has a “cute” menu. For example:

Purebred – No toppings

Seeing-eye Dog – Topped with carrot and vidalia onion relish

Bloodhound – Topped with BBQ sauce and onions

Golden Retriever – Topped with mac and cheese

Boston Terrier – Topped with baked beans

Junkyard Dog – Any three toppers

Etcetera.

I’m sure that with a little imagination, we could come up with some more great toppers. Here are my contributions:

Akida – Topped with sashimi and wasabi

Irish Setter – Boiled for 6 hours

French Poodle – Topped with 3 small dollops of creme freche

Akida = Akita?

Bijon = Bichon frisé?

Topped with excrement = Shih Tzu? (properly pronounced closer to “sheed zoo” than what you are inferring)

I submit the Italian greyhound: small & thin, topped with marinara sauce & grated parmesan cheese.

Top Dog has one topped with sauer kraut – it’s called the German Shepherd.

They have that one too. Peppers and onions.

I challenge anyone to come up with a recipe for a Jack Russell Terrier.

The Jack Russell Terrier: Topped with espresso beans and comes with a mandatory VERY LOUD soundtrack that you must listen to while you eat it.

hmm, I’m almost afraid to ask what’s in a pit bull.  
Roasted habanero salsa and american cheese perhaps?

The Wiener Dog. The gross part is that big vein running up the middle…
