dog bone

Pet's gnawing reward

A dog bone is a bone given to a dog to chew, or more commonly, a synthetic chew toy shaped like one—with knobbed ends and a narrow middle.

The distinctive shape appears in other contexts: a dog bone connector in construction, a dog bone suspension in automotive design.
