Answer 2

Answer: A. old mutt

The word "cur" refers to a dog that is frightening or violent. It is most commonly used in a derogatory way to describe a dog that does not look well-taken care of or a mongrel dog. This is similar to "mutt," which is also a derogatory term for a dog. The sentence implies that Ranger was not a very pretty dog, but that Melissa loved him nonetheless.
