A dog that light should be heading to a vet now!
Onion toxicity causes a Heinz body anemia. Heinz bodies are small bubble-like projections which protrude from a red blood cell and can be seen when the cells are stained. This "bubble" is a weak spot in the red blood cell and, therefore, the cell has a decreased life-span and ruptures prematurely.

Onions are not toxic to dogs so you do not have to worry, but if you are really concerned just feed the dog a peice of bread. The dog should be OK I feed my dogs food all the time and they have had onions before and there was no sign of discomfort.

You should never feed human food to a dog, but I guess too late for that tidbit.
Dog Breath with Onions?? Yuck. I've never heard of onions being toxic, but could be. May not hurt it, but don't do it again.

I've never heard of anything that was toxic to dogs.
