Bones has a problem
with some people
being reluctant
to recognize,
or accept,
his inherent humanity.

While Bones possesses
all the common attributes
of a human child,
some people still cannot
bring themselves
to accept Bones
for what he obviously is—
a very human child,
with human needs
for food,
shelter,
clothing,
and if you can spare it,
a little benevolent love.  

No,
Bones is definitely
not a dog,
or any other sort
of lower animal.

Bobby

of course he isn't! (an animal)

it always shocks me how selfish and cruel people can be in the face of someone in need, child or adult.

Thanks dear SEA,

What you say is very true.  I've picked up interesting lunch partners due to not being selfish.

Love Bobby

I never thought that about Bones. He has always had my admiration because of his survival savy.
Bones is actually stronger than most.
However, as you say, he isn't an animal and needs love from his fellow man.

Thanks Eric,

I know that you have always respected Bones, and that's great.

People should always remember that old saying--

"God don't make no Junk."

Thanks Bill,

Yes, in all ways Bones was a delicate and gentle person.  If he had lived, he would have grown up good.
