Jeff's canine associate (4)
I believe the answer is:
mutt
This might be a double definition.
'jeff's' is the first definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'canine associate' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how one could define the other.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mutt that I've seen before include "Mongrel - fool" , "Chump" , "Setter perhaps" , "Dog of mixed breed" , "Thematic type [DOG]" .)
