Mangy mutt (3)

I believe the answer is:

cur

'mangy mutt' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for cur that I've seen before include "Vicious dog" , "Mangy dog" , "Useless dog" , "A low worthless dog" , "Mongrel - cowardly person" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times, the Penny Press, The New York Times, the King Feature Syndicate and the Universal.
