Has it's doggy dale (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aire

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'doggy dale' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'has it's' is the wordplay.
'has' becomes 'air' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'it' becomes 'e' ('e' can mean 'electronic' which is similar to 'IT').
'air'+'e'='AIRE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for aire that I've seen before include "flower of Yorkshire" , "Major river of Yorkshire" , "River of the Yorkshire dales" , "River running through Leeds" , "Terrier -- Yorkshire area" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
