"She brought him into the house with her parents and they made him some hotdogs."

Is it common in US to feed dogs with hotdogs?

If you found a dog on the street then you probably don't have any actual dog food. A hot dog seems like one of the best options in an average fridge.
sausage I can understand, hotdog as sausage in bun is beyond my understanding
Ah, there's the confusion. We typically refer to both the sausage itself, and the complete dish (with bun and toppings), as a "hot dog", especially if the sausage is a generic Frankfurter or Vienna sausage. If someone said they fed a dog a hotdog, I'd assume it's just the sausage.
As long as they're not panting, I think it's generally not cannibalism.
It's common to give snacks to your pet. In the US and anywhere
