We have given the dogs onions for years, but just a few at a time. I forget what in the onion is bad for them, just looked it up and it causes anemia. It is dependent on the size and weight of the dog, considering she is a rat terrier and probably weighs about 40 lbs I wouldn't give her any broth. The essence of the onion is in the broth and since she isn't your dog you should probably skip it.
Our guys are huge, (125lbs) they bug us when eating and they will get a small piece of onion, some like them some don't. It is not immediately toxic but accumulates over a period of time.
probably to err on the side of caution.
