Dogs usually handle cooked chicken bones well. Although not advised, I know of dogs that eat them on a regular basis without any problems. This biggest concern is that it can get stuck in the stomach or intestines and cause an obstruction. Signs of an obstructions are vomiting, not defecating, acting very painful/depressed and a decrease in appetite. If you notice these signs, then Raine would need to go to the vet immediately for emergency surgery. Normal GI transit time is 3-5 days for such things. During this time you would just be waiting to see if he has any signs of an obstruction. If you don't notice anything after a week, then he probably passed it with no problems. Most likely this will be the case, so I wouldn't worry too much. I hope that helps and all is well with Raine.
