Dino Rescue: Pups Save a Hum-Dino
In this episode, Zuma and Rex team up for the first time and work together to free Mayor Humdinger's kittens out of the swamp who were also in a fake robot dinosaur.
When Zuma watches the kittens sink in the swamp, he mentions that they need to save the little guys and Rex jumps on his amphibious dino ride and heroically says "I'll help you Zuma!"
Then they both drive into the swamp and successfully pull the kittens out.
A little bit later on, while the pups were in the dino patroller heading to Adventure Bay to stop a dinosaur from causing trouble all over town.
Zuma downplayed the dinosaur by jokingly asking how much trouble can it really cause.
Then Rex answered his question by saying since the dinosaur was almost 90 feet long, it can cause a lot of trouble.

PAW Patrol Original 5's: Dino Rescue: Pups Save the Baby Raptors
This was a 5-minute short specifically designed for just Zuma and Rex.
Ryder left Rex and Zuma alone to work together to gather all the baby raptors while Ryder went with Robo-Dog. They were both very excited to do this mission without Ryder.
As they eventually found all the baby raptors, they were back at the dino tower and hung out there for a bit.
Rex introduced all the baby raptors to Zuma, but while he was doing that, one of the baby raptors (Roary) got loose and hopped into the dino tower and locked Zuma and Rex out.
Zuma then asked Rex how they were going to get in and Rex was thinking for a moment and then offered Zuma a hug.
Zuma was confused and said "huh?", but then when Rex used his claw to wrap it around Zuma, that's when Zuma understood what he meant by "hug".
Next Rex lifted Zuma all the way to the top of the dino tower to try to stop the baby raptor (Roary) from controlling it.
Once Zuma got to the top, he thanked Rex for the lift and the hug.
Then the next problem occurs when Zuma was forcefully thrown off of the dino tower by Roary controlling it.
Zuma was free falling towards a major injury, but Rex saved him with his claw which prevented that. Zuma was very grateful and relieved and thanked Rex again while Rex just gave him a nice smile.
A little bit later on, Zuma saved two baby raptors from falling to the ground by using his upgraded fans and Rex was impressed by the save and called it "dinoriffic".
Then Rex wanted to play with Zuma's fans and Zuma had him fly very high in the air and Rex was having a blast doing it and it also helped him get to the top of the dino tower to finally save that last baby raptor who was Roary.
Finally at the end of the episode, Rex thanked Ryder and the pups for saving the baby raptors but when he said pups, he was referring to Zuma. Rex said, "Thanks to you and the pups, especially Zuma." and Zuma gave him a paw bump.
