Learn More About The Dog Bone Drawing
The type of bone typically rendered in cartoons - and in this dog bone drawing tutorial - is known as a long bone.
Long bones are hard and dense. They give the body strength and structure and are used to help you move around.
Long bones can be found in the arms, legs, wrist, ankle, and fingers. The thigh bone, or femur, is a long bone.
Long bones and filled with both yellow and red bone marrow. Red marrow produces blood cells and yellow marrow is used to store fats.

Why do we feed bones to dogs?
Bones contain minerals and nutrients. They also satisfy a dog's desire to chew, which in turn helps clean their teeth.
Additionally, the dog food that we feed our pets today was not invented until 1860. For thousands of years, family dogs were simply fed table scraps. This often included bones and undesirable portions of meat.
