Charm we recalled, feeding female dog (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bewitch

'charm' is the definition.
(bewitching is a kind of charming)

'we recalled feeding female dog' is the wordplay.
'recalled' shows that the letters should be reversed in order (to recall can mean to bring something back).
'feeding' indicates putting letters inside (one word is fed by another set of letters).
'female dog' becomes 'bitch' (I've seen this before).
'we' in reverse letter order is 'ew'.
'ew' placed inside 'bitch' is 'BEWITCH'.

(Other definitions for bewitch that I've seen before include "Spellbind" , "add glamour" , "Entrance" , "Fascinate - charm" , "Put under a magic spell, or charm" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
