Death by Chocolate
Who else was stunned and bewildered by the news story about the bomb sniffing dog at the Mall of America?
It wasn’t shocking that there was a bomb sniffing dog at the mall, what surprised me was the nonchalant way the cop took her dog into a candy store and fed it some chocolate.
It was white chocolate, approximately one ounce.
So off to Google I went, to get the skinny on this whole dogs -vs- chocolate thing.
It turns out that the type of chocolate makes a huge difference in whether or not it’s toxic to a dog or cat.
In the case of the cop’s dog it would take a few hundred pounds of white chocolate to be poisonous, but only a few ounces of baking chocolate would probably kill it.
