I'm so sorry about the puppy ...a Chi is so tiny it was just too much toxin for the poor baby if she came in contact with one - you do have to be very careful living there - Here's some information on them - http://www.floridagardener.com/critters/BufoMarinus.htm

Yikes! I just read this.... that has to be the ugliest thing..... Sorry, but if I had those around my yard, I would find something to trap or kill them... they get HUGE!!! It's giving me the creeps just thinking about them.
