Have the Jaws theme on my phone.....sometimes I'll play it when I'm walking the dog and am coming up behind people down at the beach.....some of the reactions are hilarious, some think I'm an ass.
Nontoxic Bone...
Lucky, it wasn't a Cigar ? LOL
Might have been, a Fire ?
Rawhide bones can be toxic to some dogs. It depends on the size of the bone, size of the dog, and their chewing habits. Pieces can break off and get lodged in their esophagus'. And check out what they're typically made from:
Rawhide chews are made from the leather industry’s leftovers. Most hides are taken directly from the kill floors at slaughterhouses and placed into high-salt brines, which helps slow their decay. Most rawhide chews are manufactured in China, and it can take weeks to months before these brined hides actually make it to the tanneries for their final manufacture. Once the hide arrives at a tannery, it is soaked and treated with lime to help separate the fat from the skin, the hair is removed by chemical and physical efforts, and the hide is rinsed again. Unfortunately, the salt brines cannot prevent decay, no matter how long they delay it. It is best to fully rinse a rawhide in water prior to giving it to your dog.

A real bone, while more expensive, would typically be a better option imo.
Our beast gets a lot of mileage out of her (real) bones. First she chews off whatever bits of flesh are left. Then, somehow, she sucks out the marrow. After that it's time to bury the bone. She has them buried all over the yard. Periodically, when the weather is nice, she goes out and re-arranges them. Digs them up, one-by-one, and re-locates each one to a new spot. After another few days, or a few weeks, they get re-arranged again. For the amount of use they get, and the entertainment they provide to her and us, they aren't expensive.
That is too cute. What kind of dog do you have? Some breeds just love digging and re-finding their treasures and I think it's awesome you let her do it.
Kind? 18 kilo mutt. Some say she looks like a smallish coyote. Fortunately, she doesn't have the temperament of one. She's very willing to cooperate.
