Le bulledogue. Here's Rubble.

FACTS

- Rubble is an English Bulldog.

- Rubble is confirmed to be the youngest pup in Pups Get a Rubble.

- Rubble is the very first character to appear in the series.

- His skateboarding skills seems to be based on Tillman, the skateboarding bulldog from a January 2007 iPhone commercial.

- He is also the youngest member of the PAW Patrol along with Zuma. (Zuma is a bit younger)

- Rubble enjoys bathing and has a fondness for bubble baths, opposed to Rocky, who hates baths.

- Whenever he sleeps, he wears a sleeping mask.

- Rubble is the first and only member of the PAW Patrol to need a pup to take his place (Chase in Pup Pup Boogie, and Zuma in Pups Save a Super Pup).

- He also is the first and only member to need that twice.

- Rubble is the second pup to need the PAW Patrol to help him (Pups Save a Super Pup). The first was Marshall (in Pups Fight Fire).

- He is a big fan of the fictional superhero character Apollo the Super-Pup, who he dressed as during rescue missions in Pups Save a Super Pup and Pups Save Jake.

-

He loves snowboarding (shown in Pups Get a Rubble, Pups Get a Lift and Pups and the Snow Monster)

- In Pups Save a Toof, it was revealed that Rubble is afraid of spiders.

- In Pups Save the Turbots, Rubble dressed up as François Turbot, attempting to impress Skye by speaking with François' french accent.

- In Pups and the Ghost Pirate, Rubble's Halloween costume was a reference/homage to Elvis Persley's jumpsuit in the broadcast Aloha From Hawaii in January 1973.

- Rubble's name comes from the word rubble, meaning "waste or rough fragments of stone, brick, concrete, etc., especially as the debris from the demolition of buildings."

- In Pups and the Trouble with Turtles, Rubble is the first PAW Patrol member to go on a solo mission followed by Marshall, Zuma and Skye.

- Rubble is fast at Pup Pup Boogie, but can't do the splits well. (Seen in Pups and the Lighthouse Boogie)

- In Pups Get a Rubble, it was revealed that Rubble was originally a stray pup who ended up stuck in a tree while trying to chase after a soccer ball. He was later found by Ryder, Marshall, and Chase, who managed to rescue him via his net.

- He became an official member of the PAW Patrol after assisting Ryder and the PAW Patrol in rescuing Jake who had become trapped in the snow on Jake's Mountain.

- Rubble was given a crane in Pups Save a Show.

- Rubble has finally first-deployed with Zuma as a pair of two in Sea Patrol: Pups Save a Baby Octopus.

- He and Zuma were first-deployed in Pups Save a Friend and Pups Save Their Floating Friends. However, it was with a few of the other pups at the time.

- In Pups Save the Woof and Roll Show, Rubble is the second member of the PAW Patrol shown to be a sleepwalker (with the first being Marshall in Pups Save a Ghost).

- In Pups Bark with Dinosaurs, the dinosaur eggs Rubble helps unearth are discovered to be a new previously undiscovered species. This new species is dubbed Rubblesaurus in Rubble's honor.

- Rubble said that his favorite dinosaur is a triceratops.

- Although Rubble appears to be the 6th member of the PAW Patrol (hence the #6 on his bulldozer), he was actually the 7th member of the PAW Patrol.

- His original name may have been Digger, as DirecTV incorrectly calls him that in their description of Pups Save a Pool Day.

- Five episodes were based on Rubble's dreams, one or two dreams per season: In Season 1 his dream was in Pups and the Beanstalk. In Season 2 his dream was in Pups Bark with Dinosaurs.

- In Season 3 his dream was in Pups Find a Genie. Humorously, after his dream in Pups Find a Genie, Rubble demonstrates an uncharacteristic aversion to bathing, though Rubble's reaction is understandable given to what happened to him in his dream.

- Also in Season 3 his dream was in Pups Save Apollo. Rubble was also the first one to be called by Apollo in Pups Save Apollo.

- In Season 4 his dream was in Pups Save a Playful Dragon.

- In Pups Save the Mayor's Tulips, it can be seen when Rubble was a little pup, he use to have a yellow blanket to play with.

- In Pups Save the Flying Food, Rubble said that he enjoys eating carrots.

hen I started watching the show, I wasn't particularily fond of Rubble. I found his personality obnoxious and his fondness of food irritating. Every episode with him was a huge pain.

I only began to like him after season 4 was releasing its first few episodes. I rewatched the earlier episodes, and realized he had a spark of charm. I mean, he did try to impress Skye in a few episodes.

He's also got a good sense of humor. It's much better than Marshall's crashing, anyway. (Not including season 3 jokes because they were all horrible, except one, in Merpups save the Turbots)

In the end, I find Rubble a decent pup. He's well-balanced, got a nice personality, he's funny, and he has vOiCe cRaCkS.

The only things I don't like are his constant food needs, his unclever jokes, and his dream episodes. Other than that, he's an O.K. pup. Not my fave tho.
