# When defining the constructor for Dog, you should also run the

# constructor for Animal by calling super().__init__
|

#

# Using *args and **kwargs allows Animal to change its constructor
|

# while your code stays the same.

# This *args, **kwargs pattern is useful if, for example, you want to

# subclass Thread

def __init__(self, special_param, *args, **kwargs):

super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
|

# do something with special_param

# Now we can pass in arguments we usually give to the Thread constructor,

# like the 'daemon' keyword argument
