Set the Child’s Prototype to an Instance of the Parent

Problem Explanation

This challenge is no different from the last challenge, in the fact that you must create an object which inherits from the supertype. Only this time the subtype Dog will inherit the Animal supertype.
Simply create a new instance of Dog.prototype like the following example.

Bird.prototype = Object.create(Animal.prototype);

Solutions

Solution 1 (Click to Show/Hide) 
function Animal() {}

Animal.prototype = {
  constructor: Animal,
  eat: function() {
    console.log("nom nom nom");
  }
};

function Dog() {}

// Add your code below this line
Dog.prototype = Object.create(Animal.prototype);

let beagle = new Dog();
beagle.eat(); // Should print "nom nom nom"
