See aggressive male do good -- man of courage? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bulldog

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

'man of courage?' is the definition.

'see aggressive male do good' is the wordplay.
'see aggressive male' becomes 'bull' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'bull'+'do'+'g'='BULLDOG'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bulldog that I've seen before include "Person of obstinate courage" , "Drummond so called" , "Canine breed noted for courage" , "Sturdy animal" , "Sturdy pet; type of clip" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
