Please can anyone help with this clue. I've read the hints already posted but I'm still completely stuck. I must be missing something.
30. Kid is heading for row, taking in stray dog. (3,7)
And I'm also stuck with "kennelmaid"for 28, just like everyone else.
Thanks in advance.

kid = fox; err = stray; row = tier; fox t(err)ier = FOX TERRIER = dog

PS. What's the clue for kennel maid (and the letters prior to solving)?

It's a quiz Jolan and so no letters.
The question is 'She can help to accommodate Danes' (10)- I offered "kennelmaid" (as Great Danes can be accommodated by her. Nobody seemed to be convinced.
I had a vague memory of seeing it in a crossword and sure enough in December 2012 in the UK Daily Telegraph there was
3d Woman helping to accommodate Danes ? (10)
{ KENNELMAID } – a cryptic definition of a young woman who is employed by an establishment where Great Danes, among others, are boarded or bred.

So who knows? Could still be wrong answer.

Ah! Thanks ab. Yep! kennelmaid seems a very good answer. I'm just peeking in from time to time [ :) ] today. Hence the failure to reply. CU

Jolan, thanks for your answer. I had thought fox terrier was an option just because the words fitted, but I couldn't make the clue fit. So many thanks.
I note you also agree with kennelmaid for 28 but I don't think it quite fits. After all, kennelmaids look after many sorts of dogs - not just Danes. So I'll keep working on it. But thanks again.
