Declaring subclasses that inherit the conformance to protocols


We have an Animal class that conforms to both, the AnimalProtocol and Equatable protocols. Now, we will create a subclass of Animal, a Dog class that overrides the string computed properties defined in the Animal class to provide the appropriate values for a dog:
