Dad gives my Siberian Husky a cup of coffee every morning. How toxic is this?
I'm trying to convince him that it's not good for the dog, but he does it anyway. How much would the dog have to drink before it would be considered toxic?

Caffeine, like theobromine (found in chocolate) is toxic to dogs. But they would have to drink a lot of it to be toxic - especially a larger dog like that. A cup of coffee will probably be fine, but since caffeine is a methylxanthine, which is toxic to dogs, they really shouldn't have any. It won't do them any good, and it could certainly do harm - I wouldn't risk it.
