Run to get back wild animal (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

flow

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'run' is the first definition.
(I know that run can be written as flow)

'back wild animal' is the second definition.
'flow' can be an answer for 'back' (thesaurus). I am unsure of the 'wild animal' bit.

'to get' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for flow that I've seen before include "Run smoothly" , "Steady continuous stream" , "Scapa - , Orkney anchorage" , "(Forward) movement of liquid" , "Move along as a stream" .)
