## Bluey.tv Description

*"Bingo is Bluey's younger sister. She’s five years old, and a red heeler like her mum. Bingo also likes to play, but she is a bit quieter than Bluey, so is more likely to be the customer than the shop owner. Sometimes though, when Bluey asks her to be the doctor, rather than the patient, she really enjoys it. When she’s not playing you can find her in the yard talking to tiny bugs or off lost in her own beautiful world."*
