Ryder Ryder is a 10-year-old boy who runs the Lookout and serves as the leader of the other Patrol PAW Game! characters. Ryder adopted each of the puppies and trained them to be a part of PAW Puppy Patrol. When he receives a distress call, he summons the pups by sounding the PAW Puppies Alarm from his PupPad. He functions as the team commander, picking the right pup for the job, organizing the pack, and – when the work is done – making sure they all get a healthy dog snack, a relaxing soak at his friend Katie’s Pet Parlor, or a run out at the Lookout’s Pup Park.
