The Dogs for Joy program helps increase the number of dogs who work full-time in children’s hospitals across the country to bring joy to kids battling illness.

These dogs perform a range of tasks that help medical teams achieve their clinical goals, like keeping a child calm during a medical intervention or providing an incentive for a child to get out of bed and go for a walk.

Guests can celebrate, raise money, and still get their Pumpkin fix on National Dog Day by ordering Dunkin’s Iced Pumpkin Spice Signature Latte.
