Style the animals class first:

/* Write your SCSS code below. */
.animals {
  background: #369;
}

Then extend the animals class in dogs:

.dogs {
  @extend .animals;
}

Here is the correct answer

First we define the class animals below

.animals { background-color: #369; }

Then we extend it within the class dog, as shown below

.dogs { @extend .animals; }

Thank you & happy coding :)
