Be careful with your dogs though; I've been told that some giant toads are poisonous to dogs.

You are right, Boffo toads are potentially lethal at any size to a dog. When I lived in South Florida my dog, while on leash, grabbed one. He dropped it when I commanded, but started to gag almost instantly. I scooped him up and ran for home. Fortunately after about 100-150 feet I realized that he was OK. My neighbor however almost lost his terrier because of a Boffo. The dog spent close to a week in intensive care at a significant cost. Avoid them at any cost, as well as the Cobalt Blue spotted toads.
