Basic JavaScript - Testing Objects for Properties

Tell us what’s happening:
Hi there, I cannot see why the code doesn’t pass? I don’t think I need to declare any additional variables or define any objects inside of the function (what pony, kitten etc??)
It allways gives me:
// running tests

checkObj({gift: "pony", pet: "kitten", bed: "sleigh"}, "gift")

should return the string

pony
```.

checkObj({gift: “pony”, pet: “kitten”, bed: “sleigh”}, “pet”)

should return the string

kitten

checkObj({city: “Seattle”}, “city”)

should return the string

Seattle

. // tests completed

**Your code so far**


```javascript
function checkObj(obj, checkProp) {
  // Only change code below this line
  if (obj.hasOwnProperty("checkProp")) {return obj[checkProp];} 
  else {return "Not Found";}

  // Only change code above this line
}

Hi, you got it right, but no need for quotes in the if statement.
