Making wudhu after eating food cooked on a fire

Q: There is this book called "The Tablespread Of the Holy Prophet" written by Muhammad Faisal

There is a section on cheese. This hadith is a Sahih Muslim Hadith 687, Narrated by Abu Hurayrah (radhiyallahu anhu).

"Performing ablution in the mosque, he said: I am performing ablution because of having eaten pieces of cheese, for I heard the Messenger of Allah Ta'ala say: Perform ablution (after eating anything) touched by fire."

I would like to know what is meant by "touched by fire" and why should we make wudhu after eating something that is touched by fire?

Are dog hairs impure?

Q: I travel for work and sometimes my agent takes me around in his vehicle. There are times when his vehicle has some dog hair on the seats and on the floor. By me sitting on the seat, some of the hair may come onto my clothes which I try and remove. Can I read salaah or are my clothes napaak? 

Making masah on medical socks

Q: A person has a medical condition where water fills in his legs. He has to wear a stocking/sock that is very tight. This sock helps mitigate the condition. It is very difficult to take off and put on the sock.

In this situation, will it be permissible to make masah on these socks in wudhu?
