Canine friend? (3)
I believe the answer is:
pal
This clue might be a double definition.
'canine' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
'friend?' is the second definition.
(pal is a kind of friend)
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pal that I've seen before include "Brother" , "China" , "Mate, buddy" , "Close friend" , "Crony" .)
