Dog left to have a look (4)

I believe the answer is:

ogle

'a look' is the definition.
(I know that ogle is a more specific form of look)

'dog left to have' is the wordplay.
'to have' indicates a hidden word.
'OGLE' is hidden within 'dog left'.

(Other definitions for ogle that I've seen before include "Amorous glance" , "Regard lecherously" , "Make eyes at" , "Gaze at lecherously" , "Gawp" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express and The Mirror.
