Hello, it looks like that may be a winterberry plant. The toxicity for this plants to dog is associated with vomiting and diarrhea with occasional lethargy. Most of the time, these signs are self limiting, however, severe vomiting and diarrhea should be assessed by your veterinarian. Further information on this plant and its toxicity, as well as other potential toxic plants could be attained from ASPCA Poison Control line by calling 888-426-4435. Call them and describe the plant to obtain more precise recommendations on wether Willow should be seen by a veterinarian today. Hope this helps and best of luck.
