Go ahead and give in to your dog's desire for a walk? (4,3,4)
I believe the answer is:
take the lead
'walk?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are verbs in their base form, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
'go ahead and give in to your dog's desire for a' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'go' could be 'lead' (leading is a kind of going) and 'lead' is found in the answer.
'a' is within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
