does a branch (of a tree) count as a toy?
														
 
													 
												 
											 
											It`s a big toy 

  but if it`s a toy to a dog then yes that would be eligible 
 
Sticks of a size which are often dangerous should be avoided of course but a big branch is not likely to be thrown in a manner which puts a dog at risk like a small stick - my old girl was never in to `normal` toys but she loved dragging fallen branches around for play, as do many dogs 
 
For the class a toy does`nt have to be a traditional dog toy, it`s whatever the dog is allowed to enjoy, [  safely ], for play. 
Plastic bottles are often popular, and my Lurcher`s favourite `toy` when he could pinch one was bra`s, he loved swinging those around - laundry of that type is now kept well out of his reach and no I never took a photo of him doing bra slinging
