Bingo Heeler (Bluey)

Bingo Heeler is a Zhu Zhu Puppy

## 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."*

* While not as bad as her sister, Bingo often gets confused for a boy, since Bingo is usually a name for a male dog, and her voice can sometimes sound like a young boy. It helps, however, that Bingo looks a lot like her mother. Though, the same gender confusion can also be said about several other kid characters in the show, which seems to be a common criticism of the show among parents, stating that that they can't tell if a character is a boy or a girl.
