I hope he doesn't nibble any of it. Weed is quite toxic to doggos. Mine found a gummy or somesuch in a friend's car and spent the night convulsing and peeing on herself. Scary night.

For anyone curious, yes, it is toxic to dogs, yes a little bit will make them very sick, but it actually takes quite a lot to hit the LD50 amount for doggos. Somwhere around 1 gram per lb the dog weighs, which is a LOT of weed.

Still, keep it away from them, but hopefully it helps others to know that while it will make them very sick, it would take a great deal of weed to actually risk their life. So if they eat a bud or two, strap in for a bad night of them throwing up, but know that they're not at risk of death. Unless they weigh like 5lbs.

In its raw plant form? Or only after it’s been decarboxylated?
