Q. And while I'm on the subject, what other foods have the ability to make a dog sick?
A. From what I've seen (my dog once ate a whole bag of mini snickers bars) the most common side effects from dogs eating chocolate are: lethargic, having the runs, drinking excess water, sometimes vomiting and hyperactive (it can differ depending on the dog).
As for other foods, it all depends on the dog. I've come across dogs that could eat any and every type of people food without getting sick and other dogs that couldn't handle any type of people foods. The only food that my vet has ever cautioned about has been chocolate.

Is it possible a different form of little champions could make my dog sick?
Q. A while back ago we bought the ground dinner version of Little Champions soft food. At the time our dog got sick and had diarrhea. We switched back to the cuts in gravy kind, but it was still Little Champions, and he has not gotten sick again. I was wandering if it was because of this or was it just a coincidence.
A. If your dog is used to eating the same thing every day, a sudden change in diet can cause digestive upset (vomiting and/or diarrhea).
"Little Champions" is low-quality food anyway. I'd recommend switching to something better. Check http://www.dogfoodanalysis.com/dog_food_reviews/ for ideas.
And switch gradually over a 1-2 week period, slowly mixing in more of the new food and less of the old food until the dog is completely on the new food.
For example:
75% old food, 25% new food
50% old food, 50% new food
25% old food, 75% new food
100% new food
.
