When Adventure Bay's sewer system begins to fail after a massive storm, Ryder and the PAW Patrol face a challenge too deep for their usual tools. Enter Gully, a stray English Springer Spaniel with a nose for cleanliness and a heart full of purpose. Meticulous, cheerful, and equipped with a self-built sanitation rig, Gully dives into the mess-literally-and restores the town's underground systems with precision and pride.
Impressed by his skills and spirit, Ryder invites Gully to join the PAW Patrol as Adventure Bay's official sanitation pup. Gully accepts, finding joy not only in clean streets and organized gear, but also in the growing friendship with Al, another pup on the team. As their bond deepens, Gully begins to realize his feelings for Al go beyond camaraderie. With mutual respect, shared values, and gentle moments of connection, their relationship blossoms-reflecting the diversity and warmth of the PAW Patrol family.
