High serum levels of triglycerides can cause pancreatitis in humans as well. I don't know if is the same mechanism as in dogs, but I would guess that it is. Most fats are triglycerides (the rest is cholesterol). Your blood levels of triglycerides are a function of your genetics and your diet. Dogs can eat food cooked in a small amount of bacon grease (which gives great flavor even in small amounts) but it is as bad for them as it is for us to eat in by the spoonful.
