Follow on the sly (4)

I believe the answer is:

tail

(Other definitions for tail that I've seen before include "Last, rear, part" , "Dog - end" , "Follow the caudal appendage" , "Flexible part that extends from an animal's rear" , "Elongated posterior part of an animal" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
