You can wait to see if it passes. Dogs eat and pass strange things. If you are going to wait, I recommend feeding him a high bulk diet by either adding canned pumpkin or green beans to his food. Or you can get high fiber prescription food from your vet. These help to 'push' things through. If you notice Kiro vomiting, lethargic, or refusing to eat, I recommend taking him to see your veterinarian as soon as possible.
