Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If Bruce doesn't do this with any other chew toy or bone then I would throw it away. If he rubs his face after licking or chewing on it, he may be wiping the drool off his lips and face. That isn't abnormal. Rubbing his face from just sniffing it isn't normal unless you think he is trying to bury it. I wish you the best!
