Tail O' the Pup is an iconic Los Angeles, California hot dog stand actually shaped like a hot dog. The restaurant was designed by architect Milton J. Black in 1938 and built in 1945. It first opened at its original Beverly Boulevard location in 1946. The small, walk-up stand has been noted as a prime example of Programmatic Architecture. It is one of the very few surviving mid-20th century buildings that were built in the shapes of the products they sold.

Despite its appearance in countless movies and commercials, the stand faced demolition in the mid-1980s, creating an outcry that resulted in the stand being moved a few yards from original location to 329 North San Vicente Boulevard. In December 2005, the stand vacated that location.

Presently, space is being sought to move the stand elsewhere in 2007. In the meantime, Tail O' the Pup is currently closed. The City of Los Angeles has since declared Tail O' the Pup to be a cultural landmark.
