javascript / C++

Do you agree what that statement below ?

"In Javascript, it is preferable to declare methods outside of the function definition. 
Because if you define it inside the function, it's like you're defining a method inside a constructor. 
You usually don't do that do you ? usually a constructor just initialises attributes. 
You would declare the methods outside of the function definition."

So instead of this : 

var Dog = function(name,age,sex){
    this.name = name;
    this.age  = age;
    this.sex  = sex;
    Dog.prototype.bark = function(){console.debug("arf !");};
}

You write this

var Dog = function(name,age,sex){
    this.name = name;
    this.age  = age;
    this.sex  = sex;
}

Dog.prototype.bark = function(){console.debug("arf !");};


Isn't this a little bit like in C++ ? where methods are defined outside of the the class definition ?
