Question

PYTHON QUESTION

Create a subclass of the Dog class named anything appropriate (e.g. Bulldog, Chihuahua, German Shepherd, etc). This subclass should consist of the following:

1. It should inherit the __init__ method from the Dog class, but add one new attribute at instantiation.

2. It should add two new methods that were not in our Dog class

3. It should overwrite one of the methods that existed in the Dog class.

-------

I'm not entirely sure where I should add this information to my dog class, nor how I should go about overwriting one of the methods.

-------

class Dog:
    def __init__(self,name,age):
        self.name = name
        self.age = age

    def description(self):
        return self.name + ' is' + str(self.age) + ' years old.'

    def speak(self):
        return self.name + ' barks!'

    def run(self):
        return self.name + ' is running!'

    def fetch(self, toy):
        print(self.run())
        print(self.name + ' fetched the ' + toy)
        print(self.name + ' is bringing it back!')


    def wags_tail(self):
        return self.name + ' is so happy!'

    def isolder(self, dog2):
        if self.age > dog2.age:
            return True
        else:
            return False

dog1 = Dog('Hurc', 2)
dog2 = Dog('Sammy', 5)
print(dog1.description())
print(dog1.speak())
print(dog1.run())
dog1.fetch('ball')
print(dog1.wags_tail())
print(dog1.isolder(dog2))
