Biography[]
Rubble is an English Bulldog pup and the construction pup of the PAW Patrol. His main color is yellow. His truck looks like a bulldozer, modified with drills and other construction tools. In "Pups Get a Rubble", it is revealed that he is the youngest member of the PAW Patrol.
In "Pups Get a Rubble", before Rubble joined the PAW Patrol, he lived on his own, and it was hinted that he was a stray dog, which meant he had no home or family to take care of him. He met Ryder and the PAW Patrol when he was a little puppy after getting himself stuck on a tree branch hanging over the ocean and was rescued by Chase's net. After being fed, Rubble sneaked into Chase's vehicle before he deployed for a mission and later showed his digging skills while freeing Jake from a pile of snow boulders. Ryder later announced that they had found a home for him as the Construction Pup of the PAW Patrol.
