Jigsaw puzzle. Has an extra letter in word play.

Dog’s tail, take note, caught by plough (9, 2 words) May start S or T.

Could be rescue dog? Cannot parse that answer. Take = R, Note = N, Plough = Ard?

Thanks.

... NB ('take note' Latin abbrev) with the 'N' extra [inside] STERN = 'tail' + ARD = 'plough'.

[ProfessorMaisie]

...I see you had the answer, hankir - my reply is more than you needed!

Thanks ProfessorM.
Based on the title, I have guessed 4 names.
But I may be back.

[ProfessorMaisie]

That's it, hankir - the extra letters (once they're in grid order) lead to a method to find another...

[hankir]

Thanks ProfessorM.
I found the fifth.
I do not have extra letters for 4 clues but it does not matter.
They may give me 5, 7, 7.

[ProfessorMaisie]

Yes - 5,7,7.

[hankir]

Thanks.
It is the middle word that I am missing.

[ProfessorMaisie]

C???? leading ???????
