Sails.js afterCreate() is passed the newlyCreatedRecord without instance methods

The newlyInsertedRecord in afterCreate(newlyInsertedRecord, cb) {} is missing all instance methods.

  1 /**
  2  * Dog.js
  3  *
  4  * @description :: TODO: You might write a short summary of how this model works and what it represents here.
  5  * @docs        :: http://sailsjs.org/documentation/concepts/models-and-orm/models
  6  */
  7 
  8 module.exports = {
  9 
 10   attributes: {
 11     tail: 'string',                                                                                                                                                                                             
 12     wag: function() {
 13       console.log('wagging ', this.tail, 'tail')
 14     }
 15   },
 16 
 17   afterCreate: function(dog, cb) {
 18     dog.wag()
 19   }
 20 };

When executing Dog.create({tail:'green'}).exec(console.log), the following error and stack trace occurs:

Not sure if the answer to Sails.js model saved to session loses custom instance methods? applies?

afterCreate() Lifecycle callback only returns the value added in database, i.e. the JSON. Example:

{
    tail: "green",
    createdAt: "...",
    updatedAt: "...",
    id: "173c69cbdc4810b70dd4fb73"
}

In this moment you have only access to JSON, not object with methods.
