My pug puppy was chewing on a dryer sheet and I noticed a small piece missing. Not sure if he actually swallowed it. What are the signs I should be looking for? This just happened 20 minutes ago.

The dryer sheet doesn't have any toxins that could hurt your dog and if only a small piece is missing, this should pass through his intestinal tract without trouble. Keep an eye out for drooling, vomiting, loss of appetite, or general lethargy. If anything like this happens, get him in to see your vet right away.
