Hairy dog exercising with a nurse (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dangerous

'hairy' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'dog exercising with a nurse' is the wordplay.
'exercising with' indicates an anagram.
'a'+'nurse'='anurse'
'dog' with its letters anagrammed with 'anurse' can make 'DANGEROUS'.

(Other definitions for dangerous that I've seen before include "Hazardous" , "Not safe" , "High-risk" , "Posing a hazard" , "Perilous, unsafe" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
