I think 'hot rhyming with not' and 'dog rhyming with hog (more toward the hawg sound)'.
I only say this because my college linguistics professor made us listen to ourselves (much to our dismay) and then analyze the sounds.
In Texas I have heard the hot pronounced like the O in not and dog like the O row
very common but also pretty subtle -- you really have to listen for it
Yeah, the "aw" or "ah" in dog is the kicker. My in-laws in MA use a VERY strong "ahhhh" in such words. Like, "Pahhhk the cahhh" (Park the car). I really do love the different accents in the various regions of the country. There are even different dialects within given regions. It's awesome, lol.

Yeah, I've always thought it amazing that everyone has an accent except for me
