He should be fine until tomorrow morning, just make sure he has plenty of fresh water. You can boil him some rice and give him some left-over chicken if you have any, but if he's otherwise used to eating just dog food, I wouldn't feed him huge quantities of human food as that can upset his stomach.
Whatever you decide to give him, remember that dogs should not eat onions, grapes, raisins, pork or chocolate.

1. Wait until shop opens.
2. Buy dog food - same brand the dog is used to eating.
3. Feed dog.
4. Relax.

Have you no friends or neighbours that could pop down the local shop and buy a couple of cans of dog food? If not then what the others have put, ie ham. Just make sure he has plenty of water to drink in the meantime. Hope your mum will be ok. Just dont feed him chocolate, its not good for dogs.

Who is the idiot who said feed him bread? Dogs should never have bread, and dogs should never have carbs at all. Also true that a dog will not die from not eating, but why not feed him, dogs eat meat, that's pretty obvious they're carnivores, so it's not rocket science to feed one.
Theres a bunch of things you could give him!!!
-Eggs, raw or cooked- eggs are great for dogs protein-wise
-Tuna in a can
-Lunchmeat
-Raw hamburger meat
-Any Canned meat or leftover meat

You can feed him any number of things.
Is there any dairy, eggs, meat, in the house?
The dog will NOT starve if he misses a meal...
I promise!!
Dairy (in good amounts) will help ease his stomach. Just a spoonful for such a small dog.
The dog will be FINE, even if you wait until PetSmart opens at 9am to get him some more food!

Dud, Just go to the shop when it opens, I mean if its 3:54am the dog should be asleep and so should you, in the morning go to the store and buy some dog food, its that darn simple! If hes starving in the mean time give him some meat.

aaawwww man buddy, you're breaking my heart!...well it's a Chihuahua so it doesn't need much. Just give it a little something- some cold cuts- yeah a little ham like the girl said should do it. If no cold cuts- you can try some veggies- just don't over feed him/her or else he/she will throw up. I don't know if you personally are a dog owner also, but if not, don't forget- if it eats, it poops so let him outside before you go to bed (sorry if I'm pointing out the obvious).
I hope your mom gets well. Take care.

Feed him or her some chicken breast meat or any meat that you can find in the fridge and cook them well before serving it to the dog. Hope that helps.

Can't you wait another 3 hours when a store will open...I'm sure the dog will be ok until then.
