In order to tell you whether your dog is in serious danger, we would need your dog's weight and the amount of beans eaten. Coffee beans contain 600mg of caffeine per oz, which is toxic. add theobromine from the chocolate (varies). If a 10lbs dog ate 1/2 oz of coffee beans he would have ingested a toxic amount. Please take your dog to a pet ER now, where they can make Rufio regurgitate the coffee beans, or call the following number: 24/7 Animal Poison Control Center 855-764-7661 $49 USD per incident fee applies

    Depending on the quantity ingested and the quality of the chocolate (dark one is more toxic) veterinary intervention may be required. Please tell us the weight of Rufio and the quantity of chocolate ingested to have a more specific answer.
