I made some chocolate cookies less than an hour ago and they are cooling on a rack in the kitchen.
And the smell has just invaded my office ... now I've got to not eat them and endure the deliciousness that is wafting round the room ...
This is not going to be easy.

That'd be even worse: theobromine is toxic to cats as well as dogs, so Herself would insist on an emergency vet run to have him pumped out and dosed up with a drip for a few days.
Fortunately, cats are rather more picky than dogs and won't eat it if it's left around - though they will if given it as a "treat".

My grandfather had a dog that would eat chocolate at any given opportunity. I have no idea if it's supposed to be toxic for all dog breeds, but in the end that's not what killed him. He lived to be 15+ years old.
My dad was a mechanic and did some work in our garage - that same dog would also be licking the garage floor whenever he saw that bright green engine coolant--or straight out of the drain pan when my dad was emptying a radiator--it's apparently sweet, but poisonous. Didn't bother that damned dog one bit.

I honestly have no idea what breed it was. It was about the same size (looking at some sample pictures), but with longer hair, pitch-black. He lived outdoors, on a farm with plenty of animals, and I'm pretty sure my grand-dad had it since before I was born, and I'm sure I couldn't always have been the most gentle toddler. He was an awesome dog to have around kids.
I hadn't thought about that dog in a long, long time. Suddenly I realize just how much I miss it.

If you check out the LD50 you will see that chocolate it's also toxic for humans. Dogs are capable of eating a higher proportion of their body mass, probably because once they've killed their bison they have to eat it all.

Yes you did; fresh chocolate chip cookies are meant to be eaten the moment they won't burn your mouth!
