Well, although Mr. Kelly's pet dog may have had a "ruff" appetite, let's do the math to find out how many people can still enjoy a hot dog at the picnic.

Starting with 8 dozen hot dogs, we have 8 x 12 = 96 hot dogs in total.

Then, we subtract the 14 hot dogs that Mr. Kelly's sneaky dog devoured, leaving us with 96 - 14 = 82 hot dogs.

Since each picnic guest eats just one hot dog, we can conclude that 82 people can still feast on a delicious doggy delight.

Now, let's hope Mr. Kelly keeps a closer eye on his groceries next time to avoid any more canine catastrophes!

To solve this problem, we need to follow these steps:

Step 1: Find the total number of hot dogs Mr. Kelly originally bought.
- Mr. Kelly bought 8 dozen hot dogs.
- Since there are 12 hot dogs in a dozen, multiply 8 by 12: 8 * 12 = 96 hot dogs.

Step 2: Subtract the number of hot dogs that Mr. Kelly's dog ate.
- His dog ate 14 hot dogs.
- Subtract 14 from the original number of hot dogs: 96 - 14 = 82 hot dogs.

Step 3: Divide the remaining hot dogs by the number of hot dogs each picnic guest eats.
- Each guest eats 1 hot dog.
- Divide the remaining hot dogs by 1: 82 / 1 = 82 picnic guests.

Therefore, there can still be 82 people who can have a hot dog at the picnic.
