2: The cone and the chemicals therein seem to be the prime culprit
3: There are only 9 reported cases of dogs dying from hop ingestion
4: 8 of these cases were greyhounds, the other a lab mix

So based on that info, it would seem that this is extremely rare, especially among non-greyhounds. Also, in my experience on the hop farm, dogs have no inclination to eat hops. Mixed in spent grains would seem to be the only way they'd do it, and even that seems to almost never happen.
