Is Satellit Bosnian Pine toxic to dogs?

Pinus heldreichii 'Satellit'

Mildly toxic to dogs

Mildly. The ASPCA lists satellit bosnian pine as mildly toxic to dogs — a chewing dog typically gets mouth irritation, drooling, and vomiting rather than a medical emergency, but it is still best kept out of reach. This classification follows the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List. Pinus heldreichii is not individually confirmed on the ASPCA toxic or non-toxic plant list. Pinus ponderosa (a related pine) is listed as non-toxic by the ASPCA, but as a precaution — since ingestion of pine needles can cause mild gastrointestinal irritation (vomiting, diarrhoea) in cats and dogs — this species is classified as mildly-toxic.
