I think it's SLOT (LOTS) backwards. As in DOG SLOT.

[Vimto]

I hate it when I do that in haste. Let's say an anagram!

[roslyn251254]

stol from stol van de kempen (malinois dog) ???

[scorpiojo]

That works with recalled. Thank you, Roslyn

[frameshift]

I thought of SNOT, TONS reversed, but I've never heard of a bogie being called a dog.

[petew58]

Could it be snot?

[roslyn251254]

from the xword club website where quite a few have 1 mistake:
27a will be your mistake- 'Dog' is being used in a (barely used or therefore known) slang sense. Nice puzzle otherwise. .............

????
maybe it is SNOT then??

[scorpiojo]

Arrgggh!

[Martinthefirst]

in a gearbox, dog teeth are slotted

[Martinthefirst]

SPOT, Tops is lots?

[GeorgeN]

It looks like SNOT is correct. ODO online has an alternative meaning of "a contemptible or worthless person" i.e. dog.

[Khinjan]

It might be STOP as in prevent. POTS backwards.

[scorpiojo]
