He has cattle with him, the little daughter and a dog (6)
I believe the answer is:
drover
'he has cattle with him' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.
'little daughter and a dog' is the wordplay.
'little' says to take the initial letters.
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'a dog' becomes 'rover' (Rover is a common name for a pet dog).
The first letter of 'daughter' is 'd'.
'd'+'rover'='DROVER'
'the' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for drover that I've seen before include "One driving cattle" , "Person guiding animals to market" , "Man who herds cattle" , "One moving a herd or flock" , "Person moving sheep or cattle from one place to another" .)
