Unfortunately, when most people think of hot dogs they think of the crappy ones with the frankfurter sausage (see pic 2). If you've been feasting on crappy frankfurter/wiener sausages your whole hotdog-eating life then you have led a pretty poor existence.
No, a hot dog is a frankfurter. Other sausages are... sausages.I think this is one of those cultural difference things. Probably in the UK you guys use it to refer to any sausage.

Frankfurters are fine. Brits are the last people who should be judging other's food.
