Rubble (2024)

Rubble is one of the seven main protagonists in the PAW Patrol series, and the main protagonist in the spin-off series Rubble & Crew, alongside his family. He is a male English Bulldog pup and the sixth member of the PAW Patrol. His primary purpose is to help with construction-related work, such as fixing train tracks and carrying supplies to fix damaged buildings.

Bio

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 Rubble is the youngest member of the PAW Patrol. In "Pups Save a Toof", he reveals that he has arachnophobia, the fear of spiders.

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.

PAW Patrol LIVE! Description

Rubble is a construction Bulldog – a tough, gruff five-year-old pup with a heart of gold. Not only is he strong and eager to help, he’s funny and unexpectedly sweet! He loves to skateboard, snowboard, and get covered in mud, but he also loves warm baths at Katie's Pet Parlor.

Personality

Although he can appear rather tough, Rubble is the complete opposite. He tends to be a bit emotional, and he is very soft for small animals, especially kittens (evidenced in "Pups and the Kitty-tastrophe", among other episodes). He sometimes likes to call small animals cute names like "witty bitty kitty." He loves to laugh and is rather playful and innocent. He also has a big appetite, as seen in "Pups Save the Treats".

Rubble also tends to be superstitious as he frequently believes in spooky stuff such as ghosts or monsters and tends to disagree with Ryder's beliefs that they're not real. And most of the time when things are resolved, he would usually make sarcastic comments.

Rubble has a comedic side in both PAW Patrol: The Movie and PAW Patrol: The Mighty Movie such as being spooked by lightning or not being able to sleep in new places before quickly falling asleep.

Appearance

Rubble is an English Bulldog pup. He has brown fur with a beige belly that also covers most of his face and large chest with beige fur. He has bright brown eyes and a tiny tail that can barely be seen. His right ear is beige and has two brown spots, while his left ear is brown. An often overlooked detail on Rubble's face is that his whisker spots on the sides of his snout are asymmetrical, being that the whisker spots on the right side of his snout are slightly higher than the ones on his left. This detail is only present in the original show. His gear is yellow and includes a yellow hardhat, which is typically used for safety in the construction business.

In "PAW Patrol: The Movie", Rubble's standard uniform was given a visual redesign, with his vest being composed of a porous material with metal plating on top. Notably, his helmet received built-in ear protectors and his vest gained additional shoulder armor, while his pup-pack was given extra mass. Much like all of the pups sans Chase, Rubble's movie uniform features sleeves. Much more black is also present on the general design overall.
