That's a tick on the left, not a flea. Just because the Thai translation is "dog flea" doesn't change the English identification.

Have any dogs given it the "paws up?"

Mmmm... Tasty up there along with bees in honeycomb and ants eggs.

Actually just ordinary cake shaped to look like the animals

As someone has already commented, that ain't no flea.  
Some of my childhood and teen years was spent growing up in the south.    There were two boys I remember, at two different places I lived, that would pick fat dog ticks off of dogs ... and eat them!   It's easy to tell, who the strange kids are, and stay away from them!
