Dogs love to play, and toys are a necessary part of healthy playtime and exploration. Appropriate toys can help keep a curious dog from ripping apart the sofa or a favorite pair of running shoes.
Choose toys that offer variety, and rotate them to help prevent boredom. Your dog may enjoy a toy that reminds him of you, especially when you can’t be home with him. This could be something as simple as a worn T-shirt or balled-up sock. If your dog is an aggressive chewer, be sure to provide toys that are hard and splinter-resistant, such as natural antlers or Kongs. Your dog will likely find that the best toys of all are those that require human interaction. Keep safety in mind when choosing toys for your specific pet.

Never ever give your dog t-shirts or socks or shoes, etc, as toys. When they don’t have the ones you give them, they’ll feel free to start in on the ones you DON’T want chewed up!
That’s two days in a row of poor advice from Daily Dog Tips.
Dog toys are expensive! I have bought toys she just doesn’t like. How many toys should my dog have at any one time and how often should they be rotated?
Nylabones are also great for aggressive/moderate chewers. I haven’t had too much luck with Kong products.
