Canine eluding odontologist's embedded (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dingo

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

'canine' is the definition.
(I know that dingo is a type of wild dog)

'eluding odontologist's embedded' is the wordplay.
'DINGO' is hidden in amongst the letters.
However, I'm unsure how the hidden word is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dingo that I've seen before include "Wild creature" , "Want a dog" , "Wild dog of Oz" , "Wild thing" , "Wild Australian dog" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
