Crossword Genius

Stray dogs in the gallery (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gods

'gallery' is the definition.
(I've seen this in other clues)

'stray dogs' is the wordplay.
'stray' is an anagram indicator.
'dogs' anagrammed gives 'GODS'.

'in the' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for gods that I've seen before include "Supernatural beings" , "Superhuman beings" , "objects of worship" , "Gallery of a theatre" , "Deities" .)
