Black dog who gets around? (3-6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

jet-setter

'who gets around?' is the definition.

'black dog' is the wordplay.
'black' becomes 'jet' ('jet' can be similar in meaning to 'black').
'dog' becomes 'setter' (setter is a kind of dog**).
'jet'+'setter'='JET-SETTER'

(Other definitions for jet-setter that I've seen before include "Member of the rich and famous who travel widely" , "Person who travels widely and frequently for pleasure" , "Rich and fashionable traveller" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
