It's not good that Jack is pooping blood! This can be caused by trauma to the GI tract, a foreign body, GI ulcers, eating something toxic, intestinal parasites, or hemorrhagic gastroenteritis. There are some very serious causes behind a dog pooping blood, and when this happens, a immediately trip to the vet is recommended. I would take Jack into an ER vet or find a vet on call to see him ASAP so he can have the cause of his bloody feces diagnosed and treated.

Pooping blood could be due to intestinal worms, eating something toxic, hemorrhagic gastroenteritis, parvovirus if Happy isn't vaccinated, or a foreign body. Pooping blood can have very serious causes, so he really does need to see a vet now. Vets are seeing patients for emergency cases, so call your vet now to see he can be seen by a vet.
