I don't think they make buns big enough for this 'dog ;)

LOL.... that is what one gets for being not fast enough to write explainations below.

Then again, in some ways you are just right. The early Zeppelins had a lot in common with sausages, not only the form,

LZ1 was just a test airship, twice as long as the NTs of today, so sort of tiny compared to a Hindenburg or Los Angeles. This comemorative model for forced perspective got the circumfence of an XXL Mortadella and is like 1,40m long, and the way it was fixed above the interpretive table it looks even more like a sausage put up in a fancy grill turner....

"the Lost Sausages" is a really fascinating read.

Of course a more than weird story.
