DO NOT buy him one of those cheapie 3ft. long leather chewie flavored sticks! Dog farts that will make a Nun say bad words.
You have a well in your kitchen, ECM? That's fantastic. Put a water pipe down there and a pitcher pump mounted at the sink. You Prepper, you.
I had a Black Mouth Cur (like Ole' Yeller) that ate the siding off the house. When we moved, I put her in her own pen and built an insulated dog house. She ate the siding off that, then destroyed the insulation. My Rhodesian Ridgeback was having a bad day. The neighbor kids were throwing things at him. Yeah, they weren't the sharpest tools in the drawer. He wanted in the house. Daddy grabs this door knob thing and the door opens, so, that's what he did. I kept that door knob for a long time, then eventually pitched it. 18ga steel door knob crushed flat with tooth holes punched through it.

Why was your friend chewing on a dog toy?
My lab mix will go through just about any chew toy. We've found he likes sabal palm / palmetto fronds, they are pretty tough, and thick roll-plot tubes (think giant toilet paper roll cardboard tube).
The only toy that lasts a little while is the Kong brand tennis balls, which do fit into a ChuckIt ball tosser.
My dog goes insane for the squeaky Kong tennis balls. She kills them, but it takes a while.
Kong brand stuff is on my list this weekend. I cut off the dangly bit of his leash for the clip & put a piece of rope on it. He now chews at that but it's a simple replacement.
Marley, our boxer/pit mix, has met very few things that he cannot destroy if he sets his mind to it. Thankfully it's usually limited to things we actually give him- it's standard procedure at our house to note at what time we give him a new toy and guess at how long it will last before it's largely destroyed. We've only found a few things that have held up long enough for him to lose his interest in shredding it for it to stick around for a while. Anything softish-rubber and with a squeeker? 20 minutes later we'll be taking it away from him and having to pull all the stuffing and the squeeker out through the large holes he's made so he doesn't eat them. Apparently he's way better now than when he was a puppy (which I wasn't around for since my wife got him before we were together).

Yep be very careful with nylabones. My dog LOVED hers until she cracked a tooth and it got infected. Never again.
Just when I was thinking he hasn't chewed anything he shouldn't in a long time:
That pillow will never bother you again.
How about one of these:
