if the dough had YEAST in it.. yes that is bad!
For one, the yeast releases gases as it expands.. this can lead to bloat, which is deadly in dogs.
The dough itself rises and expands, which can cause bloat, as well as a blockage.
Yeast also ferments, which would be the same as feeding your dog alchohol.. too much alchohol in a dog is the same as too much for a human.. dogs can just as easily suffer alchohol poisoning.

If there is no yeast in the dough, its fine. There's nothing wrong with raw foods for a dog. I feed mine raw meat and he hasnt keeled over and died from it.. he has also gotton raw eggs before.
I know people who have eaten raw cookie dough plenty of times, including myself.
The only hazard with dogs eating dough is if the dough contains yeast!

Yes, raw wheat dough is apt to kill your dog. You need to contact a vet immediately and find out what to do.
Edit: Yeast Dough
Yeast dough can rise and cause gas to accumulate in your pet’s digestive system. This can be painful and can cause the stomach or intestines to rupture. Because the risk diminishes after the dough is cooked and the yeast has fully risen, pets can have small bits of bread as treats. However, these treats should not constitute more than 5 percent to 10 percent of your pet’s daily caloric intake.

The kim person is completely wrong,
yeah dogs can eat and chew almost anything but it does NOT mean it is good for them.
theres a reason they have specific dog food.
they shouldnt eat human food let a lone eat it raw.
wheat isnt good for dogs.
if its eaten enough take it to the vet.

Alot of bread is bad, it does the same thing for people as it did for your dog it keeps us from being constipated also. A little bit every once in awhile shouldnt hurt other then the fact your dog will annoy you more for food.

Your dog will be fine, dogs can eat nearly anything. Though if he has eaten enough of it or if you've had him on a very strict diet then he may throw up. Don't panic, he's not ill, what he ate just didn't suit his stomach. You might want to see if he eats some grass, dogs with an upset stomach will eat grass to induce vomiting.
