Can chocolate really kill your dog?
Thursday, October 6, 2011
(...)
Just like some of us are “addicted” to chocolate, dogs can be, too. But the flavor they’re responding to is actually theobromine, a toxic substance found in chocolate.
When a dog eats chocolate, theobromine metabolizes slowly, staying in his or her system for up to 20 hours. In the meantime, theobromine interferes with the normal functioning of the central nervous system, heart and kidneys.
Without appropriate treatment, this could lead to death. So be careful about letting your dog have any amount of chocolate—once your dog has a taste for it, you’ll have a much harder time keeping him or her away.

Analogies can be made about anything. Life is not remotely like a box of chocolates, except in the sense that both will eventually kill your dog.
