I believe the answer is:

dylan

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

'bob' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.

'from sandy lane' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates a hidden word.
'DYLAN' is hidden within 'sandy lane'.

Can you help me to learn more?
