If the bits looked like rice, then they could be tapeworms. Tapeworms are transmitted from the dog swallowing an infected flea. As far as I know it is not particularly dangerous, just annoying. If it is that then it does need vet attention though. I once had a foster dog with it, and the treatment was an oral two-time medication. It isn’t necessarily tapeworms, it could be that something he ate didn’t fully digest. If it happens again, or if he seems itchy around his er…anus, then take him to the vet and have them do a fecal test. Cost depends on where you are and which vet you take him to.

Edit: Just saw pic, does look a bit like tapeworms. Has he pooped since?
