Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Border collie's are decent size dogs. One piece of chocolate if milk or dark should not cause a problem. Please repost if baker's or semi sweet chocolate, that is much more toxic. We would need Drib's weight and the amount, in ounces, that he could have eaten if it was Baker's or semi sweet chocolate. Hope this helps!
