This clue could be a double definition.

'mark's' is the first definition.
(spotting is a kind of marking)

'dog?' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for spot that I've seen before include "moral flaw" , "make out" , "Notice; sign of acne" , "Detect" , "point on snooker table" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
