Make sure to supervise and make sure your dog is actually chewing rather than breaking off small pieces and swallowing them. You just have to weigh the pros and the cons and do what's best for your dog. Any bone can be dangerous.

I've been totally confused by different views on feeding raw bones. Some sites say it's safe, and others more or less condemn those owners who do feed bones. This site has put me a little more at ease, however, and I am about to order some knuckle bones for my usually destructive collie. :) I'll have to feed it to him outside, but I'm sure he'll be quite happy. Thank you for the great site and information! Hey guys!

I know your trying to spread the word that dog fighting is bad but to dog lovers that is a horrifying picture to look at. There is no way I can enjoy the content you created with a picture like that on it. Regards monty

First of all, they have enzymes in their saliva that kill a lot of bacteria. Second, they have very acidic stomachs that prevent bacteria from colonizing. And also, a dog's digestive system works really fast to push everything through very quickly. This prevents bacteria from growing as well. Here's a post I wrote about why dog's don't get sick from raw meat: http://www.thatmutt.com/2011/03/24/will-my-dog-get-sick-from-eating-raw-meat/ Dogs don’t get sick from bacteria as easily as humans because their digestive systems are different than ours.

Like Biggie said in the comment above, teach the dog to eat it politely and chew it.
