Following bullock, soldier and dog (3,7)
I believe the answer is:
fox terrier
'dog' is the definition.
(fox terrier is a kind of dog)
'following bullock soldier' is the wordplay.
'following' becomes 'f' (used when citing page numbers etc).
'bullock' becomes 'ox'.
'soldier' becomes 'terrier' (soldier in British Territorial Army**).
'f'+'ox'+'terrier'='FOX-TERRIER'
'and' is the link.
(Another definition for fox terrier that I've seen is " Small dog, smooth or wire-haired".)
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
