This week we learned that Poop dolls are surging in popularity. Well, you can't expect the most popular doll franchise to just sit still and not get in on the action. The new Barbie comes with a little dog and some poop that you're kid can scoop.
Implications - Barbie's new pooch Tanner is a soft and fuzzy companion for the plastic figure. The dog has a mouth, ears, head and tail that actually move, and you can feed it dog biscuits. This miniature canine also comes with a dog bone and chew toy, but all that becomes forgotten once they discover that this pup also comes with a "gift" for Barbie to clean up.
