My dog ate tiny pieces of an unplugged cord. Should I be worried?

Question

Hi just asked this question - 'Looking after friends dog, caught him chewing on a cord that wasn't plugged in 20mins ago. Looks like he only ingested tiny pieces. He's running around crazy, barking, ate food and drank water. Should I do anything/be worried?' - I attached a photo of the cord. I can't tell if he has eaten any of the wire or not (when I pull some pieces together they look full but others not so sure) if he has the pieces would be tiny. Will he still be ok/ can he just be monitored? Pet's info: Dog | Bichon Frise | Male | unneutered

He should be ok, these are tiny pieces, even if he ingested them this isn't likely to cause any damage. as the chord wasn't plugged either there is no danger of electrocution. obviously you need to be careful as if he chews other cables that are plugged this could be fatal.
