  I would assume this is a non issue.  Crayons aren't toxic... just basically wax with color.  They let toddlers use crayons, and I"m sure plenty of kids have eaten one.  Your dog will be fine.

  I'd only worry if the dog swallowed it whole (so it would be hard to pass)...Dawg has eaten a few already.

  Ok thanks. She didn't eat it whole so I hope it's ok. I'll keep an eye on her.

  I think he's just going to poop in technicolor.

  My dog ate my nephew's yellow crayon...he pooped yellow

  THis has actually been used in my house as a 'diagnosis tool'

  When you find puke/poop/whatever aand you don't know what pet it was, you can grate a small amount of crayon into each food dish.  Nicely non-toxic, I know 24 hours after they eat the 'doctored' food that if the puke pile has green flecks, it belongs to Dawg, Blue flecks, El Gato, Orange, La Doof Kitton.

  A vet assistant taught me that one...
