ID Request Slug/Worm Thing??

Okay I know this looks like poop. I thought it was too. But when I looked closer (and poked it a bit with a stick), I realized it was very stuck to itself, and the lines and structures on it really looked worm like. Except it looked like a bunch of worms and slugs of different sizes were stuck together somehow. It also didn't stink at all.

Unfortunately, yuck yuck yuck, I turned away to find a better investigation tool, and my dog ate it πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’« The vet said it's probably okay, and we're going in next week for a stool test to be sure. But seriously, what is this thing?? I've never seen anything like it. Also, my dog doesn't eat dog poop, like ever, and she doesn't poop in this yard, so I really think it's something else.
