Sort of food to get the dogs going? (4)
I believe the answer is:
mush
'sort of food' is the definition.
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mush that I've seen before include "Soft and soggy mass" , "Dog sled driver's cry" , "order for dogs" , "Soft pulp or feeble sentimentality" , "Cloying sentimentality" .)
