Walnuts or Bananas?

I love to bake for my family, but one member of my family has several dietary restrictions.  You also may have one in your family.  It's usually the one that's running around the house and jumping off the couch while holding her/his favorite stuffed animal in their mouth, and who also begs for your freshly baked cupcakes.

Yes, my dog Kipper, like your dog, cannot have just anything to eat.  There are foods that are dangerous for dogs to eat.  I have made a list of human foods that you have to avoid giving your dog. (Source: The Humane Society and the ASPCA) but also a list of foods that are safe.  (Compiled from various sources)

Now go and bake some cupcakes for dog!
