Printer gets kind dog (10)
I believe the answer is:
typesetter
'printer' is the definition.
(I know that typesetter is a type of printer)
'kind dog' is the wordplay.
'kind' becomes 'type' (type is a kind of kind).
'dog' becomes 'setter' (setter is a type of dog).
'type'+'setter'='TYPESETTER'
'gets' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for typesetter that I've seen before include "One doing composition" , "Old newspaper producer" , "one putting printed words in right order?" , "Press worker" , "whose work will leave a lasting impression?" .)
