Dogs aren't people.
You like Chocolate?
Chocolate contains theobromine. A naturally occurring stimulant
found in the cocoa bean, it's the theobromine
that is poisonous to dogs.
People eat it "because" of the stimulant.
[Both people and dogs like the flavor ]
If we ate any significant amount of a koala bears diet, we would die very fast.
The Koala lives almost entirely on eucalypt leaves. This is likely to be an
evolutionary adaptation that takes advantage of an otherwise unfilled
ecological niche, since eucalypt leaves are low in protein, high in
indigestible substances, and contain phenolic and terpene compounds that
are very toxic to most species.

why would it only be toxic for a dog and not humans?

Have you tried stevia? This is natural and the FDA refuses to approve it
as a sweetener. For me that is a good recommendation.
If you have a dog, xylitol is toxic, so be careful.

Has anyone tried erythritol as a calorie free sweetener? Looks
interesting, expecially since it is not artificial, but a naturally
occurring sweetner.

Marshall,
I don't think there's any "free ride" with sweeteners. Dr. Jerry Tennant
says to avoid all sweeteners with "tol" in them, and I tend to agree with
him. They are toxic to the body.
I do use xylitol, however, as a mouthwash.
