Where does the phrase Dog Soldier come from?

The Dog Soldiers or Dog Men (Cheyenne Hotametaneo'o) was one of six military societies of the Cheyenne Indians. Beginning in the late 1830s, this society evolved into a separate, militaristic band that played a dominant role in Cheyenne resistance to American expansion in Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado and Wyoming. Its members often opposed policies of peace chiefs such as Black Kettle. Today the Dog Soldiers society is making a comeback in such areas as the Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation in Montana and among the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes in Oklahoma.Answer obtained from Wikipedia: search Dog Soldiers [Cheyenne warrior society].
