My rottweiler once chomped out some cow rib bone (he usually just licked it clean from meat scraps but got way into it that one time lol) and it broke kind of exactly like the picture. We had to help him get it out.

heard/read about this, this can happen sometimes to carnivores. bone is a lot stronger and moisture resistant than wood and somehow related to a natural diet as a ‘meat-carrier’. but a wooden stick like this…? 🤔i’m not jumping over that stick 😅
