Pinkie Cooper and the Jet Set Pets was a short-lived line of fashion dolls developed and manufactured by The Bridge Direct that arrived in major US and international retailers in summer and fall of 2013.^[1] The line includes aspects of fashion play, travel, and pet collectibles.

Dolls

The dolls are approximately nine inches tall and are modeled after the English Toy Spaniel dog breed. The line was designed by fashion and toy designer Carter Bryant, creator of the original Bratz concept, and his sister. Bryant said that he based the dolls on his sister's real Cocker Spaniel of the same name, Pinkie Cooper.^[2]
