The Dog and Badger? (5)
I believe the answer is:
hound
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'the dog' is the first definition.
(hound is a type of dog)
'badger?' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
'and' is the link.
(Other definitions for hound that I've seen before include "Pursue relentlessly" , "Breed of dog used for hunting" , "despicable person" , "unpleasant character" , "Hunting dog; harass" .)
