I was thinking the exact same thing. If I catch Bess (Avatar) with anything in her mouth that isn't supposed to be there, the adrenalin starts a'pumping away and the strength of a giant comes through my arms and opens up her steel jaws!!!!! We gave her two raw beef joint bones when we first got her as a 7 week old puppy. She is now 10-1/2 years old and is still chewing on them (Same ones). Her favorite thing in the world. She has grooves in them. She teethed on them. A raw bone is very good for a dog. A cooked bone can splinter, get caught in their throat and before you know it, they are in great peril. One more thing. Our vet has never had to clean Bess' teeth. He says she has the best teeth he has ever seen for a 10 year old dog, nice and white. Raw beef bone! Edie
