    Fatsia? Aralia? Looks to smooth to be a Begonia. Worst case scenario, it could be Castor bean tree, or Rice paper plant...

    I merged the two posts.

    Looks like Cissus rhombifolia (grape ivy), but I am not sure. That plant does not show up on lists of plants toxic to dogs. Regardless, I assume you have already taken the dog to the veterinarian. If not, I would do so immediately if I were you.
