This is a fairly small piece of cloth for a dog this size, so I wouldn't worry too much - it will probably pass through with no problems. You will need to monitor him for the next 2-3 days for any problems such as repeated episodes of vomiting, acting lethargic, or not wanting to eat - these can be signs of a blockage, so if you see them, you will need to take Archer to the vet right away. But as long as he is acting normal, I wouldn't worry at all.
