I am sorry to hear about your concern for Jack. Some dogs can ingest an item like this with no problems, but dogs with a more sensitive GI tract may experience vomiting and diarrhea, and in rare cases may develop pancreatitis. You can read about how to manage vomiting/diarrhea at https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4951323 if the vomiting persists, your dog becomes painful or lethargic then a visit to the vet is recommended.
