I have this weed on my drive, I would like to know what it is and is it safe for Teddy to eat?

That is Greater or True Celandine - Chelidonium majus. Very poisonous so do not feed.

I think Coolsox is right. Celandine is thought to be harmful. The flower is similar to buttercup but the leaf isn't really.
