No, a dog NORMALLY won't go mad simply because it eats a pouched that's intestine. However, I have an interesting idea about the scenario that brought about the myth.
Picture this: A pouched rat was foraging. It came across some kolanuts that had just dropped from the tree. It ate some, kept some in its cheek pouch and took them to its burrow. Since it has enough supply of food, it kept eating more and more of the kolanuts. Now, there are tiny bits of kolanuts in its stomach and its intestinal walls are saturated with theobromine and caffeine from the kolanuts.
Just then, some hunters came with their dogs, they hunted this pouched rat and probably some other animals too. When they got home, they prepared the rat and removed its intestine for the dog(s) to eat.
Within five hours of eating the pouched rat's intestine, the dog(s) started vomiting and stooling. They were panting heavily, urinating like their life depended on it and breathing erratically. A few minutes later, they were displaying hyperactivity, restlessness, muscle tremors, and later, convulsions or seizures. The dogs later died.
The hunters, seeing this, concluded that the pouched rat's intestine must have caused this. Even though they made an observation and drew inference from their observation, they didn't test their hypothesis. If they had given another pouched rat's intestine to dogs another day, they would have known that a normal intestine won't drive a dog mad or kill it. I guess they were too afraid of losing their dogs to try it.
What they experience is as a result of the theobromine and caffeine (from kolanuts) in the rat's intestine.
