My dog's nose touched a toad. Is it dangerous or poisonous for him?

Question

My 9 year old purple came nose to nose with a baby toad for a sec or two in my yard.. Should I be concerned? Pet's info: Dog | Pug | Male | 8 years and 5 months old

No concern here. There is no danger to your pet unless he actually placed the toad in his mouth. In which case, you would see immediate discomfort by Tucker in the form of excessive salivation and pawing at the mouth. And that will occur only if the toad was one of the poisonous ones (i.e. Bufo toad). Otherwise, Tucker will be just fine. : )
