S4·E22 Pups Save Big Hairy

Episode recap

In the twenty‑second episode of the fourth season, titled “Pups Save Big Hairy,” the PAW Patrol returns from a trip that took them into a jungle environment. While the team is making its way back toward Adventure Bay, a large monkey appears and begins to follow the group as they approach their home base. The unexpected presence of the animal is quickly noticed by the members of the rescue team—Marshall, Rocky, Rubble, Zuma, Skye, and their leader Ryder. Recognizing that the creature could pose a risk to the safety of the town and its residents, the pups immediately shift their focus from the jungle excursion to addressing the new situation.

Ryder, described as a tech‑savvy ten‑year‑old who leads the group, coordinates a response. He calls on each pup to apply the skills and equipment that define the PAW Patrol’s approach to problem‑solving. The team works together to assess the monkey’s behavior, determine why it is following them, and devise a plan that will keep both the animal and the community safe. Throughout the episode the pups demonstrate their characteristic teamwork, using their individual abilities in concert to manage the situation without causing harm.

As the episode progresses, the giant monkey’s presence creates a series of challenges that test the pups’ resourcefulness. The team’s efforts are focused on guiding the animal away from populated areas and encouraging it to return to its natural habitat. By the conclusion of the story, the monkey is successfully redirected, allowing the PAW Patrol to restore normalcy to Adventure Bay. The episode ends with the pups reflecting on the importance of vigilance and cooperation, reinforcing the series’ ongoing theme that the team is always ready to protect their town and its inhabitants, no matter how unusual the circumstance.
