Stan's partner removing lead from dog (5)
I believe the answer is:
ollie
'stan's partner' is the definition.
(Ollie Hardy, comedy partner of Stan Laurel)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ollie that I've seen before include "Fellow" , "Stan and --, comedy duo" , "Hardy" , "jump on board" .)
