Yeah it took me like ten seconds of confusions to understand what about a pie was being considered sweet. And then ohhhhh maybe they thought it meant a FRUIT pie?

"A pie" is a meat pie around here

Depends on the pie though, dogs are still somewhat omniverous so something like a berry pie without any sugar but what's already in the berries shouldn't be too bad.

Same for humans basically...

That's because Hershey's chocolate isn't actual chocolate, it's milk mixed with vomit.

my wife's childhood dog - schnauzer mutt - ate an entire basket of chocolates and sweets that was from valentine's day. like multiple pounds of assorted fancy chocolate. lived for another 10 years (this was the 80s, I don't think people grokked the choc / dog thing).

Around 2009 a neighbor lost their pyranese (sp? long haired tall dog) when it ate a single chocolate bar (it was dark and high cacao whole foods stuff). It was just dead when they got home from work, apparently ate it the night before.

seems like a bad gamble to make. but holy hell I can't keep my dogs from eating random biohazards, dead birds, snails & slugs and god knows what, it's a miracle they survive as long as they do.
