Eventually, Ryder would recruit him into becoming the police pup the of the PAW Patrol and after that, the two formed a close bond and became friends for life.
Personality[]
Chase is a German Shepherd and the PAW Patrol's police, detective and spy dog. He is the most serious member of the team and was the first to join. Chase is very committed to his job and tends to speak to his leader Ryder in a professional tone, referring to him as "sir". While he strives to maintain a businesslike tone, even Chase cannot keep a straight face after comical Rubble cracks a joke.
He always tries his best to stay serious when on a mission, but sometimes lets his emotions slip through (such as when he tells Skye that he was worried about her and immediately covers it up). He is always at ready to call everyone with a megaphone so people can hear him and use the nets to save or stop people or animals such as birds and beavers. When off-duty, he also has a playful side. He and Marshall are best friends and often playfully compete with each other.
He often needs to use his sense of smell when on missions, but ironically, he has several allergies. He is prone to excessively loud sneezing when around feathers and cats. Feathers and cats are some of his allergies.
He also shows ambitious in PAW Patrol: The Movie, when his friends move to Adventure City, Chase begins suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). After the firework show goes haywire, Chase tries to save some people but fails when he forgets to disconnect his parachute, as the people are saved by Marshall. When people get caught on the upside-down loop-a-loop train, Chase tries to save them, but gets into a panic attack and Skye rescues him while Marshall rescues the passengers with his ladder to reach the train. Ryder advises Chase to take a break, but he greatly hurts him and he calls Ryder out by accusing him of breaking his trust and giving up on him when things get hard (which hurts Ryder's feelings as well) and he runs away out of heartbreak, but gets captured by Humdinger's henchmen.
Later, Chase is rescued by Liberty, who got herself captured to allow the other pups to follow her, pursuing him and bringing up his morale a bit, then she brings Rubble to breach the wall with his wrecking ball as the PAW Patrol is heading away from Fuzzy Buddies obedience school (turned into a dog pound).
Soon, Ryder brings Chase to the city intersection where he saved his life and explains to him why he chose him was not out of pity, but because he was the bravest dog that he ever met. Chase is needed and loved by his friends and Ryder, then he puts on Chase's collar to him, as Ryder asks him to go to work and Chase agrees to resume his duties.
Chase sees Ryder's in danger during a hurricane rescue, when he reaches to a huge gap and begins to struggle to run to the other side of the building where he saw a gap. After disengaging his pup pack from being falling, Chase knows that he is the true hero and he got over his fears where he risking his life he even takes the leap of faith to do it, he founds Ryder and he freed him as they tried to get out as soon a possible.
At the end of the movie, Chase and Ryder come out of a building and his friends and Liberty are happy to see them. Humdinger is no longer the mayor of Adventure City and he gets arrested by Chase. At the ceremony, Ryder receives a call from Harris, telling them that there is emergency down on the waterfront as Chase, Liberty, and the other pups are ready as leading the team to drive to the rescue together.
