Ouch. I assume you don't mean the little round one.
She might digest it partially and/or throw it up in a few hours. Dogs intestines are faster digesting, and a much straighter line than humans, and are meant for meat and bone difficulty, but there is a risk of choking (early) and puncture (part way through) and blockage (at the end)!
I'm not trying to joke about it, and you do need to keep a sharp eye on her every minute.
And of course make sure it doesn't happen again.
