A Wiki search for Gratin dauphinois revealed that it is usually served with ortolans. Naturally that needed to be looked up and I found this:
For centuries, a rite of passage for French gourmets was the eating of the Ortolan. These tiny birds—captured alive, force-fed, then drowned in Armagnac—were roasted whole and eaten [feet first] that way, bones and all, while the diner draped his head with a linen napkin to preserve the precious aromas and, some believe, to hide from God.
Don’t do it Fred. Garlic is bad for dogs, and chicken bones will splinter also not good. Garlic is considered to be about 5-times as potent as onion and leeks.

YES! Victory is at hand, Fred. I do feel bad for the Mrs. and the other human diners, but Fred will lend a happy hand with the clean up.
