Which foods should I never give my dog? Rusty loves tangerines and milk but I'm not sure if they are save for him.

I am attaching a link to an article here with a list of foods to avoid giving dogs: https://www.aspca.org/pet-care/animal-poison-control/people-foods-avoid-feeding-your-pets. You will find dairy products and citrus fruits on this list as they can cause GI upset. So these products aren't toxic for a dog but can cause stomach upset so should be avoided.
