+2. Move a few steps.
+3. Change costume when the left arrow key is pressed.
 
-3. Add code so that the sprite will face to the left, move a few steps, and change costume when the left arrow key is pressed. If you've done it right, it should look like the dog is walking when you press the left arrow key repeatedly.
+_In your window, the dog should look like it is walking when you press the left arrow key repeatedly._
