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 Penny Press, the King Feature Syndicate, the LA Times, The Star Tribune, the Evening Standard and The New York Times.
