The bone shows up everywhere in the old guard here. Nylabone and Benebone bake it right into the word, while Outward Hound and West Paw point a shopper straight at the dog. The newer crowd went the other direction. LickiMat, SodaPup and Playology coined fresh words and let the sound carry meaning before the dictionary catches up. That dog-or-bone cue still anchors more names than anything else, because a toy gets grabbed on sight in a packed aisle by someone gambling in seconds on whether the dog will bother with it. Coined inventions and plain descriptive builds split close to evenly across the 16 names.
