Tanner is Barbie's dog. In 2006, Mattel sold a play set where Tanner could eat plastic biscuits and poop them out. Barbie could pick them up with her little scooper. Unfortunately, the set was recalled in 2007 because the magnets used by the set's poop-and-scoop mechanism could come loose and be swallowed by a child.
Tanner appears in "Barbie," complete with his little poops. In "Barbie: Life in the Dreamhouse," Barbie's dog has been renamed to Taffy.
