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