Agree to be seen with Italian dog (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

concur

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'agree' is the definition.
(I know that agree can be written as concur)

'with italian dog' is the wordplay.
'with italian' becomes 'con' ('with' in Italian).
'dog' becomes 'cur' (both can mean a despicable person).
'con'+'cur'='CONCUR'

'to be seen' acts as a link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for concur that I've seen before include "Be in accord" , "Agree or happen together" , "Stone pile" , "meet" , "Agree, assent" .)
