I think the amount of actual chocolate in a Tootsie Roll is pretty low. It's not the same as giving a dog a Hershey bar or anything. Dark chocolate is the worst for dogs....a Tootsie Roll is about as far away from dark chocolate as you can get.

The dog is old(er) .... probably 7 or 8. He's still kicking (just a little fat).

We had a dog growing up.  My parents always had a candy bowl sitting out with M&M's in it.  A family friend would come over with her toddler son on a regular basis.  He'd dunk his hand in the bowl of M&M's and throw them on the floor, and the dog would eat them all up.  The dog lived to nearly 13-years old.
