Your pup should be okay. While chocolate is NOT good for dogs, it mostly causes diarrhea, but it can cause long term problems with the liver. Watch her for unusual behavior just to be safe.
From: Talk To The Vet
"It takes, on average, a fairly large amount of theobromine 100-150 mg/kg to cause a toxic reaction. Although there are variables to consider like the individual sensitivity, animal size and chocolate concentration.
On average,
Milk chocolate contains 44 mg of theobromine per oz.
Semisweet chocolate contains 150mg/oz.
Baker's chocolate 390mg/oz.
Using a dose of 100 mg/kg as the toxic dose it comes out roughly as:
1 ounce per 1 pound of body weight for Milk chocolate
1 ounce per 3 pounds of body weight for Semisweet chocolate
1 ounce per 9 pounds of body weight for Baker's chocolate.
So, for example, 2 oz. of Baker's chocolate can cause great risk to an 15 lb. dog. Yet, 2 oz. of Milk chocolate usually will only cause digestive problems."

I have a Miniature Pincher and when he was 2 he eat a large Hershey's chocolate bar on a Sunday. He was fine, and did not even get a lil sick. I think it all has to do with the dog.

I would think he will be fine. I mean our dog ate a whole box of chocolates on xmas on accident and she was fine but you need to be really careful and keep him REALLY calm. Because the chocolates caffine makes them so hyper that their heart stop. Once again I think he will be fine.

He'll probably live. The way in which dogs react to chocolate depends on the breed and on the dog itself. Usually if they eat something that's not good for them they will just vomit and get over it

How much? And what kind of dog? Post that so we can help.
White chocolate: 200 ounces per pound of body weight. It takes 250 pounds of white chocolate to cause signs of poisoning in a 20-pound dog, 125 pounds for a 10-pound dog.
Milk chocolate: 1 ounce per pound of body weight. Approximately one pound of milk chocolate is poisonous to a 20-pound dog; one-half pound for a 10-pound dog. The average chocolate bar contains 2 to 3 ounces of milk chocolate. It would take 2-3 candy bars to poison a 10 pound dog. Semi-sweet chocolate has a similar toxic level.
Sweet cocoa: 0.3 ounces per pound of body weight. One-third of a pound of sweet cocoa is toxic to a 20-pound dog; 1/6 pound for a 10-pound dog.
Baking chocolate: 0.1 ounce per pound body weight. Two one-ounce squares of bakers' chocolate is toxic to a 20-pound dog; one ounce for a 10-pound dog.

no! in my science book ( before ) said one of the ingredient of the chocolate may cause death of a dog, but if ur dog didin't die you must be very lucky, maybe it means ur dog wont leave you because he loves you very much and wants to protect u.

Depends what kind and how much he ate.
Chocolate shuts their body down... so if he doesn't look sick-- he isn't.
