How do I replace one word for another in JS?

I am attempting to replace the word 'and' with 'dog', using JavaScript. Here is my code:

var magic = document.getElementById("magic");
function myFunction() {
    magic.innerHTML.replace('and', 'dog');
}
myFunction;

replace does not change the input, it returns the changed value – so you have to assign it to magic.innerHTML again.
