Crossword Genius

Similar to barking wildly (4,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

like mad

'wildly' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'similar to barking' is the wordplay.
'similar to' becomes 'like' (I've seen this before).
'barking' becomes 'mad' (barking mad).
'like'+'mad'='LIKE MAD'

(Other definitions for like mad that I've seen before include "With furious enthusiasm" , "Furiously" , "wildly" , "Energetically" , "With great intensity, energy, or enthusiasm" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Telegraph.
