Hoarse animal (5)
I believe the answer is:
husky
I believe this is a double definition.
'hoarse' is the first definition.
(I know that hoarse can be written as husky)
'animal' is the second definition.
The answer is an example.
(Other definitions for husky that I've seen before include "strong and well-built" , "Arctic sledge dog" , "Sledge-dog" , "hampered by frog?" , "Breed of Arctic dog" .)
