America’s Dogs Run on Dunkin’: BARK’s New Dunkin’ Toys Support a Great Cause

The most dog-centric company and America’s favorite coffee brand are teaming up to support a great cause and bring joy to children (and dogs) across the nation. For a limited time, dogs will be able to join their humans for a morning cup of joe with their very own Dunkin’ Coffee Cup and MUNCHKINS® Donut Hole Treat toy, caffeine not included! Modeled after iconic Dunkin’ products, the hot coffee dog toy is squeaky, crinkly, and full-of-fluff, while The MUNCHKINS® donut hole treats dog toy is a multipart toy, lined with felt and complete with three plush, squeaky MUNCHKINS® donut hole treat toys inside. Like all BARK toys, these Dunkin’ toys are bright, durable, and perfect for dogs of all ages and sizes. Now dogs can run on Dunkin’, just like their parents. What makes these toys even sweeter? They’re only available as a gift when you make a donation to the Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation! For every $12 donation, you get one Dunkin’ Coffee Cup and for every $15 you get the multi-part MUNCHKINS® Donut Hole Treat toy. The limited-edition toys will start rolling out in Dunkin’ restaurants across the United States starting in August. Funds raised will benefit the Foundation programs that provide joy to kids battling hunger or illness, including the Dogs for Joy program, introduced in 2018 to bring full-time service dogs to children’s hospitals. The dogs bring joy, ease anxiety, and reduce stress for kids battling illness and their families. To date, the Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation has funded 15 service dogs across 12 hospitals, impacting hundreds of thousands of young patients. Dogs for Joy aims to increase the number of dogs working full-time in children’s hospitals. These dogs can become a big part of a child’s treatment, assisting in everything from keeping a child calm during a medical intervention to helping them take their medicine. In addition to programs like this one, the Dunkin’ Joy in Childhood Foundation helps at the local level by bringing in volunteers for charities and food banks, creating change within a community. Next time you pull up to the Dunkin’ drive-thru, ask how to make a donation to the Joy in Childhood Foundation and get a cup of squeak for your best pup.
