doggo

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

'how might one lie low?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'villain on journey' is the wordplay.
'villain' becomes 'dog' (dog is a kind of villain).
'on journey' becomes 'go' (I've seen this in other clues).
'dog'+'go'='DOGGO'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for doggo that I've seen before include "Quiet and hidden" , "keeping mum out of the picture?" , "neither seen nor heard" , "lying to avoid detection!" , "hidden away" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
