@truthsmiles Look at the video before this. Since dog and mute are Objects, you can't just assign them to each using mute = dog. If dog and mute were variables then that would work fine. To assign dog to mute, you need to call a method on the object mute. If you tried to assign those using mute = dog, you will get an error.

@truthsmiles because you are adding more words to the dog string

I know this may never get answered, but I'm wondering why we have to declare that "mute" is an NSMutableString twice? First we declare the variable "mute" as an NSMutableString, and then we set "mute" to be an NSMutableString equal to "dog". It would seem like the program would already know what data type "mute" is so that you could just say: mute = dog; Maybe it will be in the next tutorial...
