Half a dog's allocation is fruit? (6)
I believe the answer is:
pawpaw
'is fruit?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pawpaw that I've seen before include "Papaya" , "Custard apple tree" , "foul once" , "Fruit" .)
