cocker
Small hunting spaniel
A cocker is a cocker spaniel—a breed of small, long-eared hunting dog originally used to flush woodcock.
The verb cocker means to pamper or indulge excessively: She cockered the child until he was spoiled rotten.
This sense is old-fashioned but persists in British dialect.
