I used to live in an apartment complex with a guy who had a seeing-eye-dog. This dog was awesome, and the guy was really nice, but of course he wasn't the best neighbor at cleaning up after the dog. You don't know how many times I found poops that were almost entirely composed of paper towel. I guess that's how the dog entertained herself when her owner wasn't "looking."
She seemed to pass them just fine -- almost totally whole, though.

My grandmother use to scrape off the last of the crumbs and give the paper to whatever dog was standing around. Not that i am recommending that, but just so you know, her dogs never suffered from any stomach disorder concerning the waxed paper containers. ANd it does take a lot of chocolate, especially if it is a big enough dog to eat three cupcakes
I brought a birthday cake my mom made me home once chocolate scratch frosting, ground chocolate mixed into the batter. I went next door to ask my neighbor if he wished to come over and have a piece of this cake, but when we arrived, not a crumb was left. My labrador had eaten the whole thing, and he left not even a trace of the frosting. DRATS! Sorry u lost your cupcakes

Years ago, my kids had a fund raiser at school and had brought home the goodies that friends and relatives had bought. Most of these 'goodies' were wrapping paper and non-edibles, but my brother had ordered chocolate covered raisins.
These were in a theatre-sized box with cellophane wrapping inside a closed box with all the other items ordered. Our 25 lb. Pug managed to get into the large box, find the choc. covered raising, tear into that, and eat the whole thing while we were gone.
He was quite miserable afterward, but he didn't end up having to go to the vet (at the time I didn't even know chocolate was toxic to dogs), and he lived many, many years after that. He did throw up quite several times, and he stayed stretched out on the cool tile in a quite corner for about 8 hours.
It ended up that my brother donated that $7 to the school and never received his chocolate!! My kids never heard the end of that!! Of course, he would rather tease them about it forever than take the $7 back.

We were very fortunate with our Pug.
He obviously felt VERY sick, but I had no idea at the time that chocolate was a problem. Since then, I've heard that grapes and raisins aren't good for dogs, so he had a double dose of bad stuff with a theatre-sized candy box of double-dipped chocolate covered raisins.
He's long gone now, but I am still grateful things didn't turn out worse in that particular incident!
