Butter is high in fat and should not ever be given to dogs really because it has no nutritional value to them. It also has the high probability of giving him diarrhea. You can give him bread every now and again (1-2 times a week), but again, there are safer and more dog friendly treats at your local pet store. I would recommend milk bones instead.
