Marmaduke, for one (5,4)

I believe the answer is:

great dane

(Other definitions for great dane that I've seen before include "Hamlet possibly" , "hound" , "Large breed of dog" , "Kierkegaard, perhaps?" , "one among best friends" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times and the King Feature Syndicate.
