The two forces have worked together since 2020 and created items for dogs and their owners. The latest project unveils a range of dog toys that are inspired by the pumpkin spice goods created by the in-house team at BARK. It features squeakers, crinkles, and tuggable ropes. The signature Latte Toy is a squeaker toy with crinkles and a tugglable t-shirt rope. The Snackin Bacon dog toy has multiple parts and is also a squaker. The [Pumpkin](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pupkin-doggie-donuts) Donut toy has a hidden surprise which is a pumpkin pie-scented Super Chewer donut. Finally, the Mocha Latte dog toy has a traditional coffee flavor. This raises money for the [Dunkin' Joy in Childhood Foundation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vanilla-glaze-flavor-dog-biscuit).
