Dare I order a drink for the dog? (8)
I believe the answer is:
airedale
'the dog?' is the definition.
(Airedale is an example)
'dare i order a drink' is the wordplay.
'order' indicates an anagram.
'a drink' becomes 'ale' (ale is a kind of drink).
'dare'+'i'='darei'
'darei' with letters rearranged gives 'aired'.
'aired'+'ale'='AIREDALE'
'for' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for airedale that I've seen before include "Terrier - Yorkshire area" , "Barker" , "Canine breed" , "Dog taking" , "Yorkshire valley" .)
