Node - unexpected identifier

I'm trying to play around with Node and some ES6/functional stuff.
Here is two files.
dog.js

const dog = () => {
    return {
        test: (arg) => console.log("dog say: " + arg)
    }
}

export default dog;

1.js

import dog from './dog';

const d = dog()
d.test('111');

Node version - 10.4.0 (Node settings are fine)
When I'm running node 1.js - getting error Unexpected identifier, pointing on dog. What is wrong here?

P.S. 1.js was updated for proper usage of imported function, but even after that I'm still getting errors.

Your code works, it logs:

dog say: 111

However, ECMAScript Modules are Experimental in node v10.4.0.

You'll need to run node with the --experimental-modules flag/option. For example

node --experimental-modules 1.js

Also see the note regarding .mjs extension for module file(s). So you'll probably need to change 1.js to:

// Note the .mjs extension
import dog from './dog.mjs';

const d = dog()
d.test('111');
