Open the contacts app on your phone. You look up a person by name and get their phone number. You don't search by position - you don't say "give me contact number 47." You search by name.

Read the lesson

Create a dictionary called pet with these key-value pairs:

'name': 'Buddy'

'species': 'dog'

'age': 5

Then print the pet's name.

Expected output:

Buddy

# Create the pet dictionary
