Evasive; toe injury from wild dog (6)
I believe the answer is:
coyote
'wild dog' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'evasive toe injury' is the wordplay.
'evasive' becomes 'coy' (coy can mean shy or evasive).
'injury' indicates anagramming the letters.
'toe' is an anagram of 'ote'.
'coy'+'ote'='COYOTE'
'from' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for coyote that I've seen before include "-- State, South Dakota" , "Wild prairie dog in America" , "US wild dog" , "Prairie-wolf" , "Wolf-like animal" .)
