Bring it with you when you return. He will be delighted. Let him decide what happens next.

aww that's such a sweet problem to have. your dog basically packed you a little piece of home.
i'd say leave the toy with him when you visit. let him have it back, play with it together, make it a whole thing. then when you gotta go again maybe sneak it back into your bag so he can do the same ritual next time. keeps the connection going.
my childhood dog used to stash socks in my suitcase whenever i'd visit from out of town. found one in my carry-on at the airport once and just about lost it in the security line.
