Pointer or poodle (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dog

This clue is a double definition.

'pointer' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'poodle' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

(Other definitions for dog that I've seen before include "plague?" , "Sort of collar, fight, days" , "Follow closely; animal" , "Canine animal" , "Contemptible man" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
