Dinosaur Doggie Bone: Difference between revisions

 

{{examples}}

* This trope is played straight for laughs for an ad for the Royal Ontario Museum. The scene is set at the front door of the museum and a dog runs out with a huge dinosaur bone in mouth, looks around and is [[Off Like a Shot]] followed by two paleontologists in lab coats in hot pursuit.

 

* Happened in [[Tintin|King Ottokar's Sceptre]].

* [[Superman|Krypto the Superdog]] did this at least once, only to discover that yes, fossilized bones taste awful. So he goes back to the time of living dinosaurs...

== [[Literature]] ==

* This has happened in ''[[Where's Waldo]]?''

 

== [[Toys]] ==

* An especially strange variation on this trope can be found, of all places, on one of the G1 [[My Little Pony]] figures. [http://www.flickr.com/photos/babbletrish/3396215502/ Cutesaurus] ([[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made on Drugs?|ya rly]]) is a brachiosaurus "Pony Friend". Her symbols are dog bones. They were probably meant to be dinosaur bones but they look an ''awful'' lot like doggy treats.

 

* Subverted in ''102 Dalmations''. When Fluffy tells the player to search for a giant bone, the player replies "A giant bone? Yummy!" and Fluffy replies that the player won't want to eat this bone because it's "hard as rock". Considering that fossils actually ''are'' rocks, that's pretty accurate.
