Action to controller of hidePuppies failing

Asked to ad an action called HidePuppies to the controller to set puppiesShowing to false but this is not working.

js/app.js 
AnimalShelter = Ember.Application.create();

AnimalShelter.Router.map(function() {
  this.resource('puppies');
});

AnimalShelter.IndexRoute = Ember.Route.extend({
  renderTemplate: function() {
    this.render('puppies');
  }
});

AnimalShelter.PuppiesController = Ember.Controller.extend({
  puppiesShowing, true,
  actions: {
    hidePuppies: function() {
      this.set('puppiesShowing', false);
    } 
  }
});

Jadaml;

Your js/app.js code has a syntax error. The line:

puppiesShowing, true,

should be

puppiesShowing: true,

Happy coding,

Ken
