I have this tree in my yard and it's dropping what I think are nuts. I took pictures. Please tell me what it is. Also is it dangerous for my dog?

Oh the tree is in North Carolina. I'm not sure if that will help identify it.

If they are pecans, what time should we be over for the pie ?

It's really hard to tell, but I'd guess pecan tree. Do the nuts kinda look like walnuts? The close up photos are kinda blurry and if you want better confirmation of the tree, put a few photos of the leaves! If it is a pecan, heck yeah you can eat it! YUM!
Photo of pecan leaves with green nuts. The outer green portion dries up and turns really dark brown, then splits, then you have the nut in the middle

The oval nuts are pecan. The round is hickory. Both edible.

It's a pecan. In PA they are @ $8.00 lb shelled. You could sell them or shell them and use them yourself...wish I could say the same about all the acorns I've had to pick up this fall. Happy eating!
