My new hound gets sausage in America (4,3)

I believe the answer is:

corn dog

'sausage in america' is the definition.
(corn dog matches up with the definition sausage in america)

'my new hound' is the wordplay.
'my' becomes 'cor' (both are expressions of surprise).
'new' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation eg NT for New Testament).
'hound' becomes 'dog' (synonyms).
'cor'+'n'+'dog'='CORN DOG'

'gets' acts as a link.

(Another definition for corn dog that I've seen is " A battered sausage on a stick".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
