British slang for the long draught-excluding cushion shaped like a dog and placed at the bottom of a door to keep cold air out. A staple of British homes before decent insulation became standard, the sausage dog is part practical, part endearingly kitschy décor. The name obviously nods to the dachshund's famously elongated body, and the items remain popular as novelty gifts. Nothing says cosy British home quite like a fabric dachshund guarding the front door.
