Secure dog perhaps in vehicle (4,5)
I believe the answer is:
land rover
'in vehicle' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'secure dog' is the wordplay.
'secure' becomes 'land' (land can mean to secure or obtain).
'dog' becomes 'rover' (Rover is a common name for a pet dog).
'land'+'rover'='LAND-ROVER'
'perhaps' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for land rover that I've seen is " car".)
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
