Yes, Starfleet’s original “Kobayashi Test” involved making officer candidates compete in an unwinnable hot-dog-eating contest against an animatronic replica of Takeru Kobayashi, but they had to scrap it when they started admitting Vulcans to the Academy (Vulcans are vegetarians). So they changed it into a rescue scenario, but they kept the original name as a nod to tradition.
Balto was the dog that lead the dog sled carrying an serum to Nome Alaska to stave off an epidemic in 1925 that lead to the Iditarod sled race. Was a read dog while Lassie and Rin Tin Tin were not.

If Poncho eats a hot dog, is that cannabalism?
