Elemental lead in newsprint? Give me a break. These days it's mostly carbon black & soybean oil. That's why it gets all over your fingers. Zip lead in anything these days where quite a bit of human contact is anticipated. Lead is even being taken out of electrical solders where possible.
And try a tennis ball for your dog if he isn't big enough for it to get stuck behind his canine teeth or go down his throat. Lots of dogs injured by running with sticks in their mouths.

there are some cheap, yet durable and safe toys for dogs, in pet shops.
and some of them are even slingable
