You get the picture. To the hungry dog, a little is a lot.
To get a better picture, though, let’s examine some recent media examples of people throwing, or receiving, a bone:
1. White House chef Sam Kass told NBC's David Gregory this week that the First Family has the same type of holiday meal at the White House that they had long before coming to Washington.
"We just have fun and enjoy really traditional dishes, just like dishes that are being eaten all over the country," he said.
Kass has the luxury of a full garden just outside the White House kitchen when he cooks. Of course, with Michelle Obama's focus on healthy eating, balanced meals are a must at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
"There always has to be a vegetable on the plate, and it always has to get eaten -- that's for sure, that's non-negotiable," he said. "But we also make sure we're having fun. We have kids in this house and so you know, we throw them a bone every once and while, give ‘em something that's fun now and again."

2. In terms of the difference between plagiarism and copyright infringement, the former involves an element of deceit not necessarily found in the latter. A plagiarist takes information from another and deliberately attempts to pass it off as his own, whereas one who infringes copyright does not necessarily attempt to pass off the infringed material as his own (e.g. music sampling cases) and in some cases may not even be aware he is infringing someone else’s protected expression (e.g. the George Harrison case).
