Let’s be honest, if you’ve ever attempted to sneak a treat without your pet noticing, you already know it’s a losing game. Dogs have a sixth sense for snacks. So, when one American Bully tried “chocolate” for the first time in a video, it didn’t just become his; it became the internet’s favorite moment of the week.
American Bully gobbles a whole bar of chocolate from mom in viral video
A recent Instagram video captures a funny moment between a woman and her American Bully during what was his first time tasting chocolate. The video begins with the owner slamming a chocolate bar onto a table in dramatic fashion. The on-screen text reads, “My dog’s first time trying chocolate,” setting the stage for what comes next.
As she pretends to eat the bar herself, holding it casually near her face, her dog — clearly not one to wait around — lunges forward and grabs the entire bar right out of her hand. Without hesitation, he devours the whole thing before she can even react. There’s no pause, no sniff test, just full commitment from the very first bite.
The moment might alarm some viewers who know that chocolate is toxic to dogs. However, the owner made sure to clarify in the caption that the “chocolate” was actually made from salmon. Besides, it was completely safe for pets. It’s a clever, harmless setup, and the dog’s over-the-top reaction only makes it more entertaining. The way he snatched the bar and finished it off in one go felt all too familiar to viewers who have faced similar food-grabbing moments from their pets, or from their own cravings.
As a reminder, chocolate poses a danger to dogs and should be kept out of their reach. It contains theobromine and caffeine, both of which dogs cannot metabolize properly. Even small amounts can lead to vomiting, diarrhea, rapid breathing, and in severe cases, seizures or death. If your pup accidentally eats chocolate, it’s important to contact a vet immediately or call the pet poison helpline at (888) 426-4435.
