Trivia* Out of all the pups who were big fans of Apollo the super pup, Rubble was the biggest fan.
* Everytime Rubble heard the Apollo theme song, he is immediately woken up and runs fast to the television screen to watch.
* Rubble was so addicted to the show that he doesn't realize that he ends up sending his friends flying towards a wall like he did twice with Rocky.
* When the Paw Patrol is called to the lookout, Rubble can't resist but continuing to watch the rest of Apollo the super pup until it's completely over before heading in the elevator.
* Rubble even tries to pretend he is Apollo by running all over the city and seeing what needs saving or fixing and thinking that he doesn't even need the Paw Patrol's help, but it ends up backfiring and he ended up needing help.
* Rubble always said Apollo's famous quote which was "I saved the way, my own super way" or "...the Paw Patrol way" or anything related to the sentence.
* Apollo saw Rubble as a friend to him.
* Apollo even saw Rubble as his super hero as well.

Rubble's Obsession Over Apollo
Rubble talks more about Apollo than any other pup.
He is dressed up in his super pup outfit, pretends he's Apollo himself by attempting to do rescues that are impossible for him to do himself, watched every single episode of Apollo, and even had a long dream about meeting Apollo and teamming up with him until Rocky woke him up (see in "Pups Save Apollo" below).
Sometimes Rubble even became delusional when he saw Apollo talking to him through the TV.
Other times while all the other pups would be out somewhere playing a game or just hanging out, Rubble would be inside the lookout watching Apollo and then he would let his friends know that it's on.

Pups Save Apollo
The episode ***"Pups Save Apollo"*** was focused on Rubble and Apollo and the bond that they had in Rubble's dream.
The episode started out with Rubble and all the pups in their super hero outfits and watching the Apollo marathon, but after about 12 episodes, the pups and Rubble were falling asleep.
When Rubble fell asleep and started dreaming, he wakes up in his dream in time to watch as Apollo is caught by surprise by his arch-enemy, the Spider King, and captured.
At that point, Apollo calls Rubble for help which shocked Rubble. Even though Rubble was spooked, he goes to tell Ryder that Apollo talked to him and needs his help. That's when Ryder sent the Paw Patrol on a mission to go save Apollo.
When they arrived in the cave, Rubble first heard and then saw Apollo in person for the first time and was so excited that he couldn't get his sentence out right. Rubble said, "Super the Apollo-Pup-- I mean Pup the Super-Apollo-- I mean--" and Apollo laughed and just thanked Rubble for hurrying.
After Apollo was freed from Rocky, Rubble and Apollo were right next to each other and Rubble was so excited with joy and then when Apollo offered to team up with Rubble to move some rocks to block the spider king, he also gave Rubble a high five (shown in main picture at top of page) and again Rubble was so excited about that and said, "I just high-fived my hero! I'm never going to wash this paw again."
Later in the episode, when spider king tried to free himself from the rocks, Apollo said, "My friend Rubble and I made that barrier extra strong. Spider King, you'll never break through!"
Another moment was when Rubble had to face his fear of the spider king by moving a rock off the tar pit, and Apollo gave him a wink which boosted his confidence a ton.
Then when Rubble was struggling to move the rock, Apollo helped him out and said "We're doing it Rubble!".
Near the end of the episode when the spider king was defeated, Apollo thanked the Paw Patrol but went into more great detail about Rubble for facing his fear of spiders to save the day.
Then when Apollo flew away, Rubble ran to his rig and just watched him leave in amazement that his dream became true, but then Rocky woke him up to tell him that he slept through the entire marathon of Apollo.
Rubble was very disappointed that what he went through with Apollo wasn't real and he tried to explain his dream to the pups and Ryder, but gave up knowing they wouldn't believe him.
