I’m a dad of a toddler – soon to be preschooler – so there is no way I don’t know who Ryder is. For the uninitiated, there is a cartoon called Paw Patrol where a boy name Ryder leads a group of rescue pups – all with specific skills, and assorted, representative colors and vehicles – that help the people in and around a place called Adventure bay. Feasible so far right? You’re probably thinking they’ll be catching cats that fall out of trees and putting out the occasional picnic fire, no big deal. You’d probably also assume they’d have a ladder, maybe a hose or flashlight and operate out of some sort of clubhouse or something. Wrong! I submit to you that Ryder is at the helm of a cross-departmental, DEA-CIA-NSA operation, which he’ssince become a double, no quadruple agent and is now playing all sides leading to a simultaneous career as a narcotics smuggler! And if the Pups are not patsies they are aiding and abetting his criminal activities.
Fact #1: Ryder has unlimited technical resources with seemingly unlimited large-scale logistical support by the way of communication devices like Pup Pads and the mega headquarters known as the Paw Patrol Tower (The Tower also has a formulation that is powered by a meteorite that is seemingly radioactive. They’re nuclear!). Ryder can reach his team anywhere in Adventure bay, FoggyBottom and parts of Barkingburg without interference – the signal also works in some sort of land-before-time esque location only accessible by cave, but more on that when I watch those episodes. This can only mean satellite signals, which means he definitely has military clearance.
Fact #2: Funding of this Paw Patrol project is not discussed, but on-demand new updates and tech become available to Ryder without any discussion of his means of acquisition. I would eliminate the possibility that Ryder himself is the engineer of these devices and the many well-equipped vehicles like the Mission Cruiser, which is a 100-foot multi-purpose reconnaissance transport (tip of the iceberg!), since he has always had a great difficulty discerning Mayor Humdinger’s identity even though the mayor uses terribly conspicuous disguises. This kind of support must be vast and with a marginal amount of oversight. I don’t think you need me to spell out the kind of agencies that work that way! However, even with the “Alphabet Boys” attached to this operation, Ryder’s sheer opportunity and access have also made him a player in the international drug distribution business.
Fact #3: Ryder has cultivated relationships on all the major transport routes. Cap’N Turbot runs the boating routes with the perfect cover story of being a marine biologist. His back-up is none other than Zuma with extensive underwater and aquatic experience. After that, you have the sky’s covered with…well Skye with the artificial intelligent-capable Robo-dog running any mission she can’t accomplish. Jake operates the snowy mountains and Farmer Yumi handles the plains in case any passage is blocked. Carlos and Tracker hold down the jungle area where I believe all the product originates! And, of course, you have Ryder’s most loyal pup: Chase. Chase that is always dressed as law enforcement, but whose main skill is sniffing out what’s wrong. Sounds like a drug-sniffing dog if you ask me!
Or it could just be a kids show.
