Hot Dogs come from what animal?

Despite the pun in the name, hot dogs do not contain dog meat — that would be illegal and is not a real commercial practice anywhere. Hot dogs (frankfurters) are made from meat trimmings, most traditionally pork, encased and cured/smoked; the sausage's ancestor is the German 'Frankfurter Würstchen,' a pork sausage from Frankfurt. Modern commercial hot dogs are also commonly made from beef, chicken, or turkey, or blends thereof, but pork is the classic/original base. So among the given options, 'Dogs' is factually impossible and 'Pig' is the best-supported single answer, reflecting the sausage's traditional origin, even though beef and poultry hot dogs are also widely sold today.
