In the realm of odd banner ads, using the phone app, I have a banner showing what appears to be a chocolate cupcake balanced on the nose of a golden retriever.
Isn't that a bad thing?

OT: feeding chocolate to dogs

I've always heard, and believe it to be true, that chocolate is bad, possibly fatal, for dogs and cats.
Could it be carob? It's a chocolate substitute that tastes nothing like chocolate. Not sure if it's okay for dogs.
Your dog is very fortunate. Dogs can't process theobromine which is in chocolate. It builds up in their blood stream and becomes toxic.
I'm no vet but I'm under the impression that the dog has to eat a pretty big amount of chocolate to do any damage.
My dog ate a whole pan of chocolate cobbler which was made with cocoa. We immediately took him to the local emergency vet and they induced vomiting and told us he probably would have died if we hadn't. Apparently, cocoa is way worse. They also said dogs can handle about an ounce of regular chocolate per pound of their weight.
Chocolate is toxic / poisonous to dogs---though it is poisonous to dogs like alcohol is poisonous to humans.
If people drink too much alcohol we can die of alcohol poisoning---if dogs eat too much chocolate they can die. And like how some people can handle more alcohol than others, some dogs can handle more chocolate than others.
Personally I don't give my dogs chocolate, just playing it safe. Now Peanut Butter Cookies are another story...I could teach my dog how to play 5 card draw if I trained him with Peanut Butter Cookies.

might not kill em, but
Back when I was a student at state i made a large batch of chocolate chip cookies, wrapped them up, and left them on the counter in our house on Hogan while my roomate and I walked down to the bulldog deli for a sammich. My and my roommate's dogs, consisting of my English setter, a dingo we found out in Noxuebee refuge, and a 80 pound dalmatian, were left in the house. One of them managed to get the large plate of cookies off the counter. We came back to a house covered in dog diarrhea, never seen anything as disgusting in my life. There were streams of poop where the dogs had obviously been running through the house, jumping on couches and beds, etc. They were in great distress, as were we, when we discovered what those cookies had wrought. I don't know if it was the chocolate, but I wouldn't take any chances.

My dog ate about a sleeve or Oreos before the hurricane that came through in 2012 I believe. Anyway, **** came out of him like a water house and I'm not exaggerating. He's a big English bulldog, so you owners can probably imagine this scene. He was so confused and scared. He knew he wasn't suppose to do it but he couldn't control it. I had to carry my dog through the house and point his *** away from stuff I don't want projectile **** to hit. I left him outside in he hurricane for about 15 minutes. At the time I didn't know what was wrong. It was some time the next day that I found the Oreo package under his bed.
Your bulldog had the wherewithal to hide the package under his bed?
Did you also find Poodle Smut magazines?**

Like I said. Oreos=Ebola. We see it all the time, but I've only seen true chocolate toxicity once in nearly 20 years.
You wouldn't believe the stuff found under his bed. Jimmy Hoffa, Shrowd of Turin, Obamas birth certificate, Elvis, couple of Hillary burner phones.
Unfortunately, this was not the first time I had experienced his liquid **** propellant. Never found out what caused the first incident.

Our dog once ate 14 Cadbury Eggs and was completely fine.
Same dog once at a piece of celery the size of a nickel and proceeded to barf/crap his guts up the next three days. Had to get him diapers it was so much.

My dog once ate a plate full of steaks because he thought it was chocolate cake but I'll admit it was only a pile of ribeyes soaked in Dales....he still **** everywhere
When I was kid my dad had fried up some fish in a big cast iron pot outside on the propane burner. He left the cast iron pot of crisco outside to cool off while we ate. Later in evening he went outside to get it and all the crisco in the pot was gone. Our beagle (Snappy) had consumed a whole can of fish smelling crisco. Snappy looked like a big ole swole up tick about to pop. Being an outside dog we let nature take it's course. Snappy laid up under a shade tree for about three days not being too Snappy before he returned to normal.
I didn't read all the responses, but wanted to chime in since I am a vet. Dog is toxic to dogs, but as some have alluded to, they have to eat quite a bit to enter the realm of being fatal.
Also depends on the type. Milk chocolate < dark chocolate < cocoa powder, etc
My 12# dachshund ate one of those 1 pound chocolate bunnies once we no ill effects except for some excitability.
