What is the best toy to keep in crate for puppy's first night?

Hi all!
We are going to pick up our puppy soon. I am just wondering what is the best toy to leave in the crate with the puppy for his first night? Perhaps something that will occupy him? He will be 8 weeks old.
Thanks!

Welcome!
You definitely DON'T want anything that he can pull apart or destroy. No stuffies and definitely no rawhide ever!!! I highly recommend Nylabone (the original ones, they're pretty much indestructable), and a Kong. Do you have either?

Our breeder gave us (and all the new owners of her puppies) a puppy blanket that the mum had lain on for a while so the pupies still had mum's scent to help them settle in their new homes. It worked well for Dinozzo (who chews his way through nylabones but Kongs survive his attention)
