meanings please?
Another meaning: When you throw a dog a bone, it makes that dog very happy. ... If you hadn't given the bone to the dog, you probably would've just thrown it in the trash. Similarly, the expression give someone a bone means do someone a small favor or give him or her a little reward.

Originally posted by @badradgerGo to your local butcher and say, "Hey Art, you got any bones I can have for Spot?" If he answers in the affirmative, thank him and take it/them home and give it/them to Spot. Pretty damn simple, I'd say. Did you finish or even go to school?
