The structure uses the rhyming pair "dog and bone" to stand for "phone," following the typical Cockney pattern of replacing a word with a phrase that rhymes with it. It is used in Cockney rhyming slang (London, UK) to mean a telephone, often shortened to just "dog." People typically say "Get on the dog and bone" or "I'll give you a call on the dog." The term originated in early to mid 20th century London East End rhyming slang culture, and remains a classic, widely recognized example.
