Step 1Cut the legs

Cut the legs
Cut the dog in half about halfway or even farther up the hot dog, depending on how long you want the legs.
Half the other way so you now have four quarters.
Half these pieces and you will have eight legs. These legs will be fairly slim and slightly delicate, so if you have trouble with this, you many want to stick with six legs.

Love these! I used to do this for my son when he way young. If you cut a smile onto the face end of the hotdog it will open ito a big grin when it cooks. And yes, I know on real octopi the mouth is under the tentacles but we can take artistic license here.
