OMGosh Judy, I wish I had known this last night, I had know idea figs were perfectly safe for a dog to eat! The funny thing is that Yazmin's NEVER taken food without permission until last night. I woke up around 1:00 AM with Yazmin was sitting on my chest, growling to let me know our new neighbors arrived home. After reassuring her everything was okay, I opened the Fig Newtons to eat just one before falling back to sleep. Lol Within seconds I heard the package crinkling and before I could react, Yazmin was flying down her ramp with a fig newton in her mouth!
I panicked, thinking of grapes and raisins as I kept repeating for her to "Leave It"! She knew she was in trouble so she ran into her crate, turned her back towards me and practically gobbled the cookie whole! I'm guessing the aroma of the fig out won the "Leave It" command.
Although the whole incident seems a little funny today, I'm so grateful to the YT'rs who responded so quickly to help me last night.

I am glad your baby is okay. However, I just had to wipe away tears at picturing your baby stealing the cookie and running because the whole scenario is pretty funny. I had to share it with my family because I couldn't stop crying from laughing so hard. The image of her running away while you are telling her to leave it. Something I have experienced in my own life with my dogs!
Glad she is fine though and no harm done.
