It's a lenghty proccess to corn beef... and then with cooking it can
shrink by 2/3... hardly worth the time/trouble for measly amounts. I
doubt you'll enjoy grey corned beef, wouldn't matter to a dog but
people eat with their eyes. Here's a recipe:

Be careful with meat curing, done incorrectly it can make people very
sick, even kill you... I strongly suggest you obtain a copy of Rytek
Kutas' book:
