BARK (NYSE: BARK), a leading global omnichannel dog brand with a
mission to make all dogs happy, today announced it is partnering
once again with Dunkin’, one of America’s favorite coffee brands,
and the Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation on a collection of dog
toys that give back to an important cause. For the fourth year in a
row, BARK and Dunkin’ reimagined the Dunkin’ experience from a
dog’s perspective to create dog toy versions of coffee, donuts and
a breakfast sandwich, designed by BARK’s in-house design team. The
dog toys are available starting today as a thank-you when Dunkin’
fans make a donation to the Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation
this holiday season.

- At participating Dunkin’ restaurants, guests can take home a
Dunkin’ Sausage, Egg and Cheese Dog Toy for a $13 donation
or a Dunkin’ Iced Coffee Combo Dog Toy for a $15 donation.
The dog toys are packed with crazy crinkle and squeakers with
features like a tuggable t-shirt rope for dogs who love to whip and
thrash.
- Dunkin’s holiday cups are an iconic part of the holiday season.
Dogs can enjoy a Dunkin’ Mocha Latte Dog Toy in this year’s
donut string light cup, along with Dunkin’ Super Chewer
Munchkins™ Donut Hole Treats, both available for a $15 donation
online at bark.co. To top it off, dogs may find a surprise toy
inside the Mocha Latte, and the Munchkins™ feature tough rubber
cores for dogs who demand a challenge.
“We’re thrilled to team up with Dunkin’ and their Joy in
Childhood Foundation for the fourth year running to dream up new
custom toys that benefit an important cause,” said Dave Stangle,
Vice President of Brand Marketing at BARK. “We’re always exploring
different ways to tap into cultural moments to reach more dogs and
dog parents. Our dogs are part of our daily rituals, like going on
a Dunkin’ run, and this holiday season, they’ll get a real taste of
our love (or obsession) for all things Dunkin’.”
Donations to the Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation will
benefit the organization’s impact programs that provide joy to kids
battling hunger or illness, including the Dogs for Joy program,
introduced in 2018 to bring full-time facility dogs to children’s
hospitals. These dogs serve as a source of happiness for patients
and are critical parts of their treatment plans, trained to do
tasks like teach kids how to take a pill, keep a child calm during
a medical intervention, provide incentives for a child to get out
of bed for a walk and more.
“Our partnership with BARK aligns perfectly with our mission, as
we see these toys bringing joy not just to the dogs, but to kids as
well. With the proceeds going directly to our grant programs that
provide the simple joys of childhood to kids battling hunger or
illness, we see the direct impact it has in children’s hospitals
and nonprofit organizations across the country. This fourth year is
a testament to the partnership’s success,” said April McGonnigal,
Director of the Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation.
Since 2020, BARK and Dunkin’s collaboration has raised nearly $7
million. To date, the Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation has
funded 41 facility dogs across 30 hospitals, impacting hundreds of
thousands of young patients.
