I've heard its really good when fido eats some chocolate to make it come back up so he doesn't die.
A dog has to eat an obscene amount of chocolate to die from it. It would take about 20 ounces of chocolate to kill a small dog. That's more than just "some". Certainly if your dog devours a big chocolate cake or a child's Easter basket, then you should be worried. I wouldn't go pouring hydrogen peroxide down a dog's mouth when it eats a small amount of chocolate. There would probably be more of a chance of the dog dying from choking, not to mention how traumatizing it would be for the dog.
