Poodle or terrier (3)
I believe the answer is:
dog
I believe this is a double definition.
'poodle' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'terrier' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)
(Other definitions for dog that I've seen before include "Sort of collar, fight, days" , "A pet; its life prov. wretched" , "Canine animal" , "plague?" , "Follow - canine" .)
