Oh no, that was naughty of your dog to eat all that rice! It's fine for him to have water, and it's good that he isn't vomiting. Because he ate so much, I recommend withholding food for the next 24 hours to allow time for his stomach to settle. His stomach may be uncomfortable from all the rice, and you could potentially see some vomiting. He should digest the rice, and I would start feeding him again tomorrow night.
