Dog and wolf look possessed when rejected (6)
I believe the answer is:
follow
'dog' is the definition.
(I know that dog is a kind of follow)
'wolf look possessed when rejected' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'look' could be 'lo' (archaic exclamation meaning 'look!') and 'lo' is located in the answer.
an anagram of 'wolf' is 'folw' which is present in the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'and' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for follow that I've seen before include "Succeed; go after" , "Come next" , "'____ and don't dilly-dally on the way'" , "Go or come after" , "Pursue or understand" .)
