There are a few goods ones out there. Remember, you can make just about any of your favorite dishes with dog.

Dog roast
1. One day in advance wash the dog inside and out; soak it in very cold water with vinegar for a few hours. This freshens and whitens the meat. Cook some carrots, celery and onions on low heat in oil for a good 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. The onions should become somewhat translucent, the carrots slightly caramelized. Add salt and thyme.
2. Dry the dog thoroughly inside and out. You may stuff the dog with the vegetables at this time; however, if you use a conventional stuffing, such as one for a turkey, wait until just before cooking and make certain that the dog and stuffing are at room temperature.
3. The easiest way to close the opening is to use an ice pick or an upholstery needle to punch rows of holes about an inch apart on both sides of the stomach flaps. Then lace it up with thick string just as you would a shoe. You may also use skewers and string as you would for a turkey.
4. Place the dog in a big roasting pan; it may have to be placed diagonally. Tuck the hind legs close to the stomach on either side; tie them together with a string under the stomach if needed. The forelegs should be pointing straight ahead (also tied together so they won't spread out) and the head resting between them.
5. Place a small piece of wood (like a child's block) or a piece of bunched-up foil in the mouth, opening it as wide as you can. Twist the tail into a curl and secure it with string or tape. Place crumpled aluminum foil in the eye sockets (some people place marbles).
6. At this point you may cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate it. Before cooking the dog, let it come to room temperature.
7. Preheat oven to 230C. Baste every inch of the dog with oil, including the head, legs and tail. Make little covers for the ears and tail of aluminum foil.
8. If your dog hangs over the pan, use heavy-duty foil to extend the pan so that any juices will be collected. Place the dog in the oven for 30 minutes.
9. Remove the dog quickly, shutting the oven door, baste with oil again and return to the oven. Then reduce the temperature to 175C. Continue basting with oil every 20 minutes 4 to 5 mor
