Canon Trivia
**Season 1*** In **"Pups Get a Rubble"**, when Baby Rubble found out that he was joining the Paw Patrol as a member, he became so excited and played with Zuma with each others paws.
* In **"Pup-Tacular"**, Rubble was taking a bath at Katie's place to get ready for the Puptacular contest and Zuma came and reminded him that he had to do a safety check with Ryder on his truck. Zuma took over for Rubble to be in the contest but eventually Zuma was needed by Ryder too.
* In **"Pups Save a Hoedown"**, Zuma and Rubble were playing a game together until Zuma was needed by Ryder. Rubble told Zuma, "But what about our game?" Zuma said, " There's a cow on a boat in the bay." Rubble said "A cow on a boat in the bay? No way."
* In **"Pups Turn on the Lights"**, Zuma and Rubble spent the entire episode setting up for Chase's birthday party despite the power outage.
* Later in the episode, Zuma and Rubble were playing tag in the dark.
* In **"Pups Save a Super Pup"**, Rubble was in trouble and was stuck in a cave with giant rocks blocking the only exit. The problem was that his rig was needed to remove the rocks so Ryder assigned Zuma to operate Rubble's rig and remove the rocks and Zuma rephrases Rubble's catchphrase by saying "Zuma, uh... on the double!" But similar to Chase in "Pup Pup Boogie", it also didn't go well for Zuma at all.
* When Zuma arrived to the location with Ryder, his poor handling of the rig caught Rubble's attention when Zuma bumped into where the rock slide was. Zuma told Rubble that it was all good but Rubble told him to be careful. Once Rubble was finally able to get out, Zuma again lost control of the rig and Rubble came and took over for Zuma in which Zuma was so relieved.
* In **"Pups Save Ryder's Robot"**, while Robo-Dog was causing chaos all over Adventure Bay, Zuma and Rubble helped Mr. Porter clean up all the mess that Robo-Dog left behind.
* In **"Pups Save a Toof"**, the pups are playing their favorite game called tug-of-war and Zuma and Rubble teamed up against Chase and Marshall. Also just like Chase and Marshall, Rubble and Zuma also claimed the rope as theirs.
* In **"Pups and the Trouble with Turtles"**, Rubble and his rig was stuck on Yumi's pond that was filling up with water and Zuma swam across the pond and attached Chase's hook to Rubble's rig and then pull him out. After Rubble was saved, he thanked Zuma and Chase and said that they saved the day.

* In **"The New Pup"**, this was the start of Zuma and Rubble sitting together almost every single time they are in the PAW Patroller.
* While they were riding in their new PAW Patroller, Zuma and Rubble stuck their heads and tongues out the window and when they stick their heads back inside, they have snow all over their faces like they're Santa Claus.
* In **"Pups Save a Mer-Pup"**, Zuma explained to Rubble what a Mer-Pup was by saying it has a body of a pup and a tail like a fish.
* In **"Pups Save Walinda"**, when Ryder called the pups to the lookout, Rubble and Zuma were seen playing tug of war. Then when they were heading to the lookout, they still had the ropes in their mouths and here came clumsy Marshall with two seagles gently landing him on top of the rope that Zuma and Rubble was running with which made Zuma and Rubble more aggressive and ran faster. Then they sent Marshall flying into the elevator.
* In **"Pups Bark with Dinosaurs"**, Rubble helped Zuma push a cup off a baby pterdoactyl.

**Season 3*** In, **"Pups Save a Tightrope Walker"**, after Zuma and Rubble laughed at Marshall's joke about balancing on a board, they both ran a few yards away from Marshall and then talked about how excited they were to see Francois Turbot balance on a rope very high in the air. Zuma said it was going to be awesome.
* In **"Pups Save a Goldrush"**, Zuma and Marshall were pulling really hard on a rope and Zuma then said that he didn't realize how strong Rubble was, but Ryder told him that Rubble wasn't even there and was helping Mayor Goodway.

* In **"Pups Save a Windsurfing Pig"**, when the pups (excluding Zuma) were in the lookout with Ryder, Rubble was wondering why there was a little more wiggle room in the line up and had a good guess that it was because Zuma was not standing next to him like he usually does.
* In **"Pups and a Whale of a Tale"**, Rubble fell in arctic cold water from a giant whale and then was sent under the water and couldn't get back up, so Ryder called on Zuma to help save Rubble.

Everyone cheered for Zuma afterwards and Rubble thanked Zuma and told him that he almost turned into a pup-sickle.

* In **"Sea Patrol: Pirate Pups to the Rescue"**, Pirate Rubble thought he buried his treasure right under his paws in the sand and Zuma made a funny joke about it. Rubble said, "Me thinks this be where I buried me pirate booty!" Then when Zuma found an actual boot near by, he told Rubble, "Hey it's a booty" and they both laughed.
* Later in the episode, Zuma was heading towards Carlos and Tracker to save them but there were booby traps preventing Zuma from getting there, so Rubble attempted to make it easier for Zuma by knocking all of the booby traps down.

* In **"Sea Patrol: Pups Save a Frozen Flounder"**, Zuma and Rubble were underneath very thick ice under water to free Cap'n Turbot's flounder surrounded by ice, and Rubble had a hard time seeing, so Zuma decied to help Rubble see better by turning on his own underwater spotlight and then they worked together to drill through the ice and break it so the flounder can move.

* In, **"Moto Pups: Rescue At Twisty Top Mesa"**, The pups were trying to run up a tree like Wild Cat did but failed. When Chase was attempting to run up the tree, Zuma and Rubble were seen for a very brief moment playing with each other and also after Chase crashed to the ground.

**Season 8*** In, **"Pups Save the Funhouse"**, the pups were practicing launching a rubber lizard into a bucket similar to the "Pups Save the Carnival" episode. When Rubble gave it a second try after missing the first time, he launched the rubber lizard and it landed on the tip of the side of the bucket, but didn't go all the way in. Zuma was luckily sitting right next to the bucket and he blew the lizard into the bucket to help Rubble win and Zuma then said, "Wohoo! You totally did it!" Rubble then said, "Well maybe not totally, but thanks Zuma!"

**Specials*** In **"Jet to the Rescue"**, After Ryder saved Zuma from falling off of the floating bench that Skye had for them, he threw Zuma onto the bench with the other pups and they were so happy he was saved.
