Animate a photo of a person or animal

I know you can add bones to a cartoon/graphic image. Does anyone know if you can do this with a photo of a person or animal?

    Ok I made a very quick tutorial showing how I separated a dog's tail in Photoshop. Imported to Animate. Converted to symbols, applied the Asset Warp Tool. Inserted keyframes and animated the tail looping insiode a nested Graphic symbol.

    Thank you all, just to clarify, can I take a photo of my dog with its tail up, and then animate to make the tail wag left and right. As an example?
