A whelp (3)

I believe the answer is:

pup

'a whelp' is the definition.
(I know this)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for pup that I've seen before include "Small palindromic dog" , "Young of canines" , "Young animal" , "Produce litter" , "Youngster" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Mail.
