here:
function fetchData(url) { return fetch(url) .then(res => res.json()) }
and here:
function fetchBreedImage() { const breed = select.value; const img = card.querySelector('img'); const p = card.querySelector('p');
fetchData(https://dog.ceo/api/breed/${breed}/images/random)
.then(data => {
img.src = data.message;
img.alt = breed;
p.textContent = Click to view more ${breed}s
})
}

But they are a "best practice", so good eye!
