Turner gave Hooch chocolate chip cookies and beer?


Anybody else extremely alarmed by that? Isn't it common knowledge that dogs can't eat chocolate and/or alcohol?

That scene was EXTREMELY DISTURBING and FRIGHTENING.

Ummmm. It's a MOVIE about a cop and a dog. Do your self a favor and don't watch the original Bad News Bears. You couldn't handle it.

I can speak from personal experience that it isn't universally true that dogs can't eat chocolate. My yellow lab mix could eat chocolate without problems and she lived to be 15.

It all started when she swiped some brownies off our counter. We waited for her to get sick, but she never did. From then on, we had no problem letting her lick plates that had chocolate on them.

When young, we mourn for one woman... as we grow old, for women in general.

I was alarmed and offended, it's like making a comedy about a diabetic that is fed only bananas.

Worse part, this mediocre film never acknowledged nor explained that they are poisons for dogs.

Yes, it's irresponsible in a family movie where kids pick up on that and then proceed to feed chocolate to dogs.

... and people wonder why the world is in the current condition that it is in...

are you saying everyday when i buy a chocolate bar from the convenience store and rip off piece by piece and place them throughout the sidewalks in my neighborhood... it's a bad thing?
are you telling me i am a bad person?

reply

Yes, you are evil and should be burned at the stake!

It would take a lot of chocolate to affect a dog that size. I have a friend whose beagle ate a box of mixed chocolate. Dog acted like it had a hangover, no other effects

My family have had household dogs ==Forever -- A little bit of each doesn't hurt them
