Harry Basset, perhaps (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hound

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'harry' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'basset perhaps' is the second definition.
(basset is a kind of hound)

(Other definitions for hound that I've seen before include "Hunting dog; harass" , "Pursue relentlessly" , "unpleasant character" , "Breed of dog used for hunting" , "Persecute; dog" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
