it is a piece of heavy duty material with a stainless steel ring on both ends that goes through the cringle. the material is like the strips/straps you find at the corners of a head sail to give extra strength to those areas. I think it called a dog bone because with the rings on either end connected by this heavy duty heavily stiched material it looks like a dogbone. you attach the block to the ring on the dogbone. I thought it an odd term when I first heard it. The dogbones on my sail are very heavy duty items and really serve their purpose.
