“As a proud dog dad, it was a blast to join Rubble and his friends in this adventure,” said Judge. “Through my foundation work, I understand the importance of reaching kids and teaching them the importance of teamwork. It was so fun to combine two things I’m passionate about – dogs and baseball – to deliver this valuable message.”
In the episode titled, “The Crew Builds a Ballpark,” Rubble and his crew are building it with the bow-wow best in baseball, bringing their can-do attitude and creative problem solving to the field.
