Barbara, I had a German Shepard who was incorrigble
about taking food. One day I came home and found out
she had eaten all the contents of a 2 pound box of
Russel Stover chocolates. She was not sick.

Another time she got into candy bars my son was
selling for his baseball team. $`1 a bar. I had to pay
the team $19 for the bars Willa ate!

She never got sick.

I know it is dangerous and I keep it away from dogs
now, but apparently some dogs can handle it.

Willa lived to be almost 16... ancient for a GSD.
