I'm looking for a brand and a name for the chew Ophie had-it was shaped almost like a natural bone, with a thin line of filling in the middle but the outside had a texture like beige brick, and it was mega heavy. Don't know where to find another one. It lasted a month- those filled bar things don't make two days.

Like you, I too , had been looking for anything my dogs couldn't destroy in ten minutes. My female dog loves balls, my male wasn't interested in balls, he loved finding treats etc..
The COCONUT !! Yes, from the grocery store ! Brought two home and gave them to my dogs, They were very inerested. Had I found a long lasting toy afterall ? Yes. I had.
I took off the hairy stuff for my female as she kept pulling it off herself. My male was fine with his.
The great news is,the Coconut helps with releiving , and working with the anal sacs.
During a bowel movement, the stool is released, but sometimes the anal sacs are not releived or relesed. This is why some dogs scoot. Many times the vet will have to release the sacs. Very stinky business. lol !!
Eating the shell also helps with the squeezing and releasing. If you have ever detected a fishy-like odor from the rear-end of your dog, it's because the anal sacs need releasing. Most dogs have no problems releasing during a bowel movement. Some need help.
I have played 'bowling' with the coconut with my dogs. Have drilled a hole in a coconut and added a rope and used it as a tug. The dogs can also drink the milk too. If your dog needs help cracking it open, you can give him a start.
The "GoNOUGHT" toy from Doctors Foster & Smith is another sturdy pit bull tough toy.
Please check them out.

Is the coconut too hard? I would be afraid it would hurt Chubby's teeth (but he doesn't release his own anal sacs so any help would be awesome!!)
