Been there done that with my now 13 year old chocolate lab. When he was younger he had a love of socks and gloves or mittens. If you realize what the dog has done very soon after the ingestion, your vet may recommend a dose of hydrogen peroxide followed by a jog around the block to stir things up. It induces vomiting. Make sure that your vet approves and that the hydrogen peroxide is fresh. Worked 3 times for us. The fourth time it did not work so a rush trip to CAVES. Since only a little over an hour had elapsed, they give him a shot to induce vomiting and up the glove came. The vomiting is only safe if the item is still in the stomach, hence the time factor.

Thankfully as he got older that habit stopped, but we still keep a fresh and unopened bottle of the stuff on hand. Glad it worked out.
