Chocolate contains a chemical called Theobromine. Large amounts of this can cause Theobromine poisoning, the symptoms of which start with sweating, trembling and headaches, and can end with heart failure.
Humans metabolise Theobromine quickly - fast enough that only long term accumulation, or a large amount eaten quickly, will have an effect on us. Other animals, including dogs, metabolise it much more slowly. Domestic pets are most the most likely non-human animals to have the opportunity to consume chocolate, and dogs are the most likely out of those due to their tendencies to scavenge anything that's within reach. So it can indeed cause a fatal poisoning, when a dog consumes a human-sized portion of chocolate.
