Dog Teddy doesn't have long to live. But before he finally leaves, his owner has a special treat for him: a chocolate bar, which he clearly enjoys.
Every dog owner knows: Chocolate is absolutely taboo for dogs – usually. Because there are special exceptions where it no longer matters whether something is harmful to health or not. Just like in Teddy's case. The pug is terminally ill and does not have long to live. Before he dies, his mistress wants to treat him to a sweet treat.
Dog owner has to say goodbye and shares emotional video
Saying goodbye to a pet is never easy. "Exactly five months ago today," the dog owner writes in the video, which she shares on her TikTok channel teddysdogs. In the clip, her dog Teddy can be seen lying on a pillow, wrapped in a blanket. The sad background: Only a few more hours before she has to put her beloved dog to sleep.
But before that, there is a special, last meal for the pug. "Teddy had his vet's permission to eat a Mars bar before I took him that night, and that's what he did," the owner recalls of the emotional moment when the dog eats the chocolate from her hand with relish.

No chocolate for dogs – cocoa content is toxic
Normally, however, dogs should not be given chocolate to eat. Because the candy can quickly become dangerous. The higher the cocoa content in chocolate, the more toxic it is to dogs. The symptoms of poisoning range from vomiting and panting to tremors, convulsions and loss of consciousness. There are also some other foods and plants that are considered a potential danger to dogs.
