Electricity hazard or not?
If a dog chews through a live 110v wire that goes to a surge protector, or a GFI breaker,will it trip protecting the dog or will it be dog toast? Trying to dog proof for a new puppy and electric wire...

It depends on which side of the GFCI the wire is on. If the wire is on the slave / outgoing / load side / plugged into the GFCI, then the dog will be protected. A normal GFCI reacts in under 1/10000 of a second.
If the wire is on the feed / hot / supply / line side of the GFCI the switch will have zero effect and the puppy can be harmed.
