Dog-end? (4)

I believe the answer is:

tail

This clue is a double definition.

'dog' is the first definition.
('tail' can be a synonym of 'dog')

'end' is the second definition.
(tail is a kind of end)

(Other definitions for tail that I've seen before include "Follow the caudal appendage" , "Follow -- rear end" , "bum" , "Feebler batsmen" , "Dog - end" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
