Dog with a curious head? (3)
I believe the answer is:
cur
This clue could be a double definition.
'dog' is the first definition.
(both can mean a despicable person)
'curious head?' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both animals as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'with a' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for cur that I've seen before include "Mongrel - cowardly person" , "Aggressive dog" , "Lowly dog" , "Miserable dog" , "Mongrel; rascal" .)
