It was hard to tell, but when the cute little dog first visited the shop, did the owner give him little biscuits? After that though, some chocolate fell on the floor and the dog was getting it. Then I think at the party the dog was licking a plate. Was that chocolate on the plate?
I may lose sleep about this! ;)
I think the first time she gave him biscuits, the second he ate cocoa beans (didn't look like chocolate.. they were only for decoration), and the third I don't know, but could've been just chicken. :P
RIP Heath Ledger. Too young!
Simple mistakes cost lives sometimes.
The cocoabeans may be very dangerous, the reason why dogs (and other animals, cats also) shouldn't have chocolate is because of the Theobromine in the cocoa. Especially for a small dog this could be lethal. The other things the dog ate was probably not chocolate...

Look. The dog is 14, which in 1959 was well past the 12 year average for dog lives. But let's have Charlie the dog explain it.
"Oui, monsieur, le chocolat is supposed to be bad for me. So what? I am 87, and this chocolate works better for moi than that purple pill viagra, non? Fifi, that gorgeous poodle I doodled, didn't think that le chocolat hurt me!! Chocolate, bad for me? Sacre bleu!!"
(For the record, Charlie the dog was played by a FEMALE dog, Sally the dog...but I digress).
This is pretty stupid, it's like saying "I"m 87, so it's OK if I eat arsenic because I like it." It's only OK if you intend to kill yourself, idiot. It's not "bad for you," it's DEADLY.
shareActually, Chocolate isn't harmful to dogs or cats. WHy? Because they are Satan's workers.
Chocolate is Satan's drink
The biscuit she gave Charlie was tannish-yellow, not brown, and it was dog-biscuit shaped. I never thought it was chocolate at all...just a pet treat she made.
shareWhy would she have dog treats lying about in her CHOCOLATE bakery?
She had no idea that dog would show up.
And if she did, she knew because she could see into the future with the gift of chocolate.
AKA
SHE IS THE DEVIL
Actually, in France, many shop owners expect people to come in with their dogs even if they don't sell anything specifically for dogs. When I was in France a few years back, every single shop I went into had a little dish of dog treats on their counter.
So, yes, the first time Vianne meets Charley, she's giving him dog biscuits. As for what he ate off of the floor, could have been cocoa beans, could have also been carob beans or something else that was there as an accent to the chocolate. I doubt the trainer let him eat actual chocolate. At the party, he was licking up a plate that just had very thick gravy on it. We saw the same stuff being spooned over some chicken for the people. It does look a great deal like melted chocolate, but it's not.

I am guessing it was mole - a Mexican sauce for meat that includes chocolate.
Nope. It was a red sauce. V probably made something just for the dog. It looked like thick pasta sauce maybe with meat in it.

Suspension of disbelief is a privilege, not a right. Abuse at your own Peril.
The dog is most likely a working dog with a professional trainer, who knows not to give dogs chocolate. Whatever he was given, it was probably dog-safe and trainer-approved.

My chi-pom eats chocolate all the time. He's 14 years old. Unless chocolate causes deafness, it's done him no harm
