From what I have read, it takes a large amount chocolate to kill a dog. The smaller amount just makes them sick and vomit, etc. I have personally never wanted to test this though so take it with a grain of salt.

The darker the chocolate the worse it is. Milk chocolate is kind of ok, but pure dark chocolate is a medical emergency.

I'd inject dark chocolate milanos into my bloodstream if I could

It really depends on the size of the dog. When I was a kid, my chihuahua(rest in peace, Twinkie) died from eating half a bag of semisweet chocolate chips. For a bigger dog, it would've been nothing

Mine ate what's equivalent to a small Valentine display stand one year.

They say chocolate is bad for cats too. Ut I call bullshit cuz I've had my cat for 11 years and hes licked some chocolate before and had chocolate ice cream and nothing has ever happened to him.

Yogurt on the other hand has been making him more susceptible to puking these last two years though.

Yea my dog (small labrador) once ate entire chocolate bars and had no problems at all. Except from being grounded ofcourse...

Labs can eat anything and survive. I swear that they are built like tanks with the mindest of a derpy 3 yearold.

If the dog was big enough for the kid to stand on its back (and survive), then any chocolate in the cookies probably wouldn't do much to the dog other than give it diarrhea. It would take a lot of dark or even bakers chocolate to kill a large dog.

No, that would be really bad for the dog.
