Favorite (3)

I believe the answer is:

pet

'favorite' is the definition.
(synonyms)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for pet that I've seen before include "Favourite, darling" , "Favourite or house animal" , "Loved domestic animal" , "blue-eyed boy?" , "Preferred" .)

I've seen this clue in the Penny Press, the LA Times, the King Feature Syndicate, The Wall Street Journal, The Times and the Newsday.
