I'm not Brutus' Mom, but if a raw bone isn't going to damage your dog's mouth when they crunch into it, a thin egg shell can't possibly do damage. And neither will it get stuck in the dog's throat if they can swallow a bone, either whole or chewed. People feel eggs, shells and all. The shell has calcium, remember.
The only time my dogs get raw egg is if one I bought from the store has a crack. Then I'll put it in the blender to break it up but this is because I have three dogs. Otherwise, I'd give the whole egg to the dog.
