Rubble
Rubble is the construction pup and the youngest of the original team, which the writing uses well — he is the one most obviously enjoying himself, and his enthusiasm for digging is played as a dog thing rather than a job thing. His vehicle is a bulldozer, which within this format is close to a guaranteed commercial success: preschool children who like diggers are a substantial and reliably enthusiastic market, and pairing a digger with a puppy covers two of the strongest interests in the age group at once.

Who is Rubble?
Rubble is the construction pup and the youngest of the original team, which the writing uses well — he is the one most obviously enjoying himself, and his enthusiasm for digging is played as a dog thing rather than a job thing. His vehicle is a bulldozer, which within this format is close to a guaranteed commercial success: preschool children who like diggers are a substantial and reliably enthusiastic market, and pairing a digger with a puppy covers two of the strongest interests in the age group at once. That is not accidental. The whole property is engineered around what small children already want, and Rubble is the clearest single example of the calculation working.
