Basic JavaScript - Testing Objects for Properties

Okay so I think I have the correct answer but the it doesn’t let me continue because it says this :
checkObj({pet: "kitten", bed: "sleigh"}, "gift") should return the string Not Found .
But if I delete the gift element it says: checkObj({gift: "pony", pet: "kitten", bed: "sleigh"}, "gift") should return the string pony . So I’m basically in a loop. Can someone help please?

  **Your code so far**
function checkObj(obj, checkProp) {
// Only change code below this line
var obj = {
  gift: "pony", 
  pet: "kitten", 
  bed: "sleigh",
  city: "Seattle"}

if (obj.hasOwnProperty(checkProp)) {
return obj[checkProp];
} else {
  return "Not Found"
}
}

// Only change code above this line

why do you think you need to create an object?
this is against making the function reusable

Your function is being passed an obj already. So I am not sure why you are overwriting it here?
