That's not what I've always heard and read. Maybe it has to do with the size of the dog? I found this:

"The ASPCA Poison Control Hotline received 39,000 calls from owners of pets who were exposed to ant baits, slug bait, and rodent bait. Insecticide sprays, rodenticide baits like mouse and rat poison are all potentially deadly to pets, who are attracted to the toxins due to the smell.
Also, a rat or mouse who dies from eating rat poison could end up in the pet's home or yard when these products are used, and if the cat or dog eats the poisoned animal, this could transfer the potentially deadly warfarin rat poison and other chemicals to the pet's body, causing hemorrhoraging and even death."
