Tyke (3)

I believe the answer is:

cur

(Other definitions for cur that I've seen before include "Worthless or bad-tempered dog" , "Aggressive mongrel" , "Miserable dog" , "Mongrel - coward" , "A worthless dog or contemptible person" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard, The Star Tribune, the Penny Press, the King Feature Syndicate, the LA Times and The New York Times.
