Boot is burying a bone, trying in vain to keep it out of reach of other dogs. BH sees the "grave" where Boot has hidden his bone and digs it up intending on giving it the kiss of life. Boot, in response, buries BH in the hole. BH then makes many attempts to rest the bone from Boot, all which end unsuccessfully. Boot is left with feelings of remorse at not sharing his tasty bone. It is, he thinks, not the conduct of an English Gentleman, but on a happier note, is exactly what one expects of a dog.
