Where does the phrase throw me a bone come from?

To throw or toss someone a bone by bestowing a small favor is like throwing a bone to a howling dog. The idea is simply to quiet the dog, not to give him a healthy meal that is good for him. The origin of this idiom is unknown. Throw someone a bone is about twice as popular as toss someone a bone.
