Definitions of "Dawg nuh hol ef him ha bone." (Jamaican Proverb)

The dog does not howl if he has a bone.

The dog is an animal not likely to appear miserable if it has bones to gnaw on. Similarly, people do not become upset or agitated if they are comfortable. It is also difficult for some persons to lobby against issues which do not directly concern them.
