No, cows drink water, not milk.

But what about really young, newborn cows?

Exactly, we cows drink water... Yet, you humans are consistently stealing our baby's milk from our udders for your taste buds. What sense does that make??

> And so are cats actually.
While this is generally true of adult feral cats, I would not say this is universally true. Many domesticated cats can tolerate dairy products due to a diet that contains the occasional saucer of cream or bit of cheese as they are growing up. Tolerance also varies with individual cats. I have seen cats devour chevre, brie, sour cream, and lap up heavy cream with no ill effects. As far as we can tell other mammals exhibit the same food aversion responses we humans do after ingesting something that makes them ill, so I doubt the cats experienced any discomfort afterwards due to their sheer desire to jump up and get some the next time an interesting dairy product appeared unguarded on the counter.

This. Though the fact they like the taste does not mean it is good for them. Case in point, chocolate - many cats (and dogs) will eat chocolate but it is seriously poisonous for them and even if they show no symptoms it is doing them harm.
PS. I admit to getting caught out my OP's lttle conundrum.

If someone is lactose intolerant, either get cheese which has very little lactose or maybe there's something like beano for milk. Soy milk is full of sugar and soy has natural estrogens--both of which are bad for men.

Chocolate doesn't harm dogs more than alcohol harms humans. Both will vomit it up from an overdose. Dogs however will eat up the vomitted chocolate from the car seat on the way to the vet though. If the dog has a bad liver and kidney from old age or chronic eating bad things, then it will die.

I know it's a big hoax. Things claim that but real life experience says differently. Anyone with real life experience knows that dogs don't die from chocolate, xylitol, grapes, caffeine, ibuprofin, or the other things people claim that humans can eat but dogs can't. Hardcore poisons that would kill a person like antifreeze and strichnine are different. Also dogs dying from eating some foods like grapes actually die from the pesticides on the grapes, though I'm surprised they don't get sick from the fluoride in the water since that stuff makes aquatic life sick http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0045653502004988 . Food items don't kill dogs through acute poisoning, it has to be chronic poisoning. Humans can get sick from chocolate too it just takes 3.3 times as much (see chart http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theobromine_poisoning ) which is not a big difference. If you've ever done baking and then had a mere 1/4th a bag of baking chocolate left over and eaten it and then felt sick from that, you will know what I mean that humans can get sick from chocolate. However the chocolate in candies and most chocolate foods is milk chocolate, which is nearly all sugar. If you eat a lot of that and feel sick, it is from the sugar. The sugar is also bad for animals too and dogs actually can get diabetes. Here's a less nonsense site http://www.petinsurance.com/healthzone/pet-articles/pet-health-toxins/Dogs-and-Chocolate.aspx "Death is actually very rare, only occurring in about 1 in every 3,000 chocolate intoxication cases. Small dogs or dogs with a history of diabetes, pancreatitis, or heart problems are typically more sensitive to chocolate than large, healthy dogs." A small old dog with a bad liver, kidney, and diabetes. Hmmm... how would a dog get diabetes? From chronically sneaking junk food. Cats get diabetes too but that's because cats can't handle high carbohydrate dry food like dogs can (dogs evolved to be able to handle potatoes, rich, and other grains which wolves can't). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetes_in_cats "For example, a recent mini-study[10] showed that many diabetic cats stopped needing insulin after changing to a low carbohydrate diet."
Dogs have the digestive system of a rat and will nibble at unknown food and if it doesn't make them sick, they come back for a little more. Dogs will eat socks, children's toys, sponges, crayons, and even stranger things http://www.nbcnews.com/id/9460440/ns/health-pet_health/t/puppy-swallows--inch-knife-survives/
TL;DR: The chocolate dogs eat (milk chocolate) is nearly all sugar. Humans only need 3x the chocolate to get the same problems as dogs. Dogs don't die of chocolate unless its liver and kidneys have failed.
