# Intersections
Intersections describe a type that must include all the intersection's constituents. Declare an intersection with the `&` operator.
```cadl
alias Dog = Animal & Pet;
```
An intersection is equivalent to [spreading](./models.md#spread) both types.
```cadl
alias Dog = {
...Animal;
...Pet;
};
