One thing to note is that you need to get to the animal while the

move on, it's too late; however, I'm not familiar with whatever they do
beyond that point.


Bratwurst with chocolate sauce comes to mind

In this instance I believe the poor thing had learned her lesson. So
had I. There was no more chocolate in the house unless it was under
lock and key. We lovingly handed her off the next poor soul willing to
fall for those eyes.

It is the theobromine in chocolate which can kill. It causes damage to the
nervous system I think and they end up having a heart attack or seizure. In
any case, I dislike chocolate myself . Chocolate is poisonous to many
species of animal and birds, not just dogs.
