Actually it does. The code was actually tested before I posted it. What you see is what I got.

    I see where I went wrong. I read the above as bless $self, $class instead of bless $self, $breed.

    In any case, I still think that if you want this to be a good tutorial on polymorphism, some of the subclasses should override bark. As it is, it doesn't take advantage of polymorphism.

      DOH! I meant to and forgot! Actually the subclass cocker was going to override "wag_tail" since they have short tails more or less wiggle their hind ends instead. ;-)
