Picky Eater

My yorky loves to eat whatever I'm eating... In fact he'd rather have my food than his own dog food most of the time. What are some foods I should not let him eat no matter how much he begs?

Onion, chocolate, caffeine, sugar, alcohol, and people food amounting to more than 10% of his total calories. A dog that size could easily die of acute pancreatitis from just one round of food you'd consider innocent, such as meat.
