Ha! Yeah dogs love it just like us. I've cooked it in the oven before..just hate to heat up the whole house to do it. The microwaved bacon just isn't the same.
I'd rather cook up enough for more than one breakfast, clean up the greasy mess and store extra in the freezer till needed.
If I were cooking bacon for a crowd, which I'm not, I could put a pound of bacon in the oven on a sheet pan and cook it in the oven. The end result is exactly the same. The oven method would allow me to do other things than stand at the stove flipping bacon.

I haven't cooked a pound of bacon at one time in decades. Now it's just a few pieces.
I still wouldn't want to put the oven on for that in the summer. Poor grandmother who had the coal stove. I'll bet she cooked and baked once a week.

We use our oven just as much in the summer as we do any other time of year, and we're in Dixie (it's 95°F outside right now).
I don't know of any method of cooking bacon that isn't messy.
If I have all the time in the world, I use the "I'll have cooked bacon...eventually" method. Put the bacon in a cold pan and cook it over the lowest heat you have. You almost don't have to watch it. It doesn't spit grease all over the place. It's very easy to control because of the very low heat.
Yes, cooking bacon is messy no matter how you cook it. A splatter screen will help when cooking stove top.
I don't think it's necessary but in the oven you can cook it in one flat sheet pan and cover it with a slightly larger sheet pan.
Microwaving would be my last choice.
Why? The microwave method is totally no fuss, no muss. Not messy at all.
