Animal* pAnimal = &cCat; std::cout << "pAnimal is named " << pAnimal->GetName() << " and it says " << pAnimal->Speak() << std::endl; Animal* pAnimal = &cDog; ... <!--formatted--> So pAnimal is declared twice. The second declaration should be changed to: pAnimal = &cDog; Ben In the big example above “Use for pointers and references to base classes” (The one with the Dog and the Cat), you got this snippet of code:

…
Animal* pAnimal = &cCat;
std::cout << "pAnimal is named " << pAnimal->GetName()
<< " and it says " << pAnimal->Speak()
<< std::endl;

Animal* pAnimal = &cDog;
…

So pAnimal is declared twice. The second declaration should be changed to:
pAnimal = &cDog;
