My dog a sharp piece of a popsicle stick. It was skinny but 3 inches long! I fed him some whole wheat bread. My dog can't stop eating whatever he sees that can fit into his mouth.

Jax should be just fine if you don't notice any vomiting within the next several days. Young dogs often eat things they shouldn't, and it's important to keep everything off the floor that you don't want chewed on. Large Kong treats stuffed with peanut butter are a good, safe chew toy option. Also, make sure he's getting a lot of attention and exercise. Good luck!
