Do you mean Zuma from Paw Patrol? If so, here’s why he often says “dude”:
- Character shorthand: Zuma is written as a laid‑back, water‑loving, surfer‑type pup. “Dude” is a quick, recognizable word that signals that relaxed, casual personality.
- Stereotype and voice acting: Cartoon surfers and beach characters in media commonly use “dude.” The voice actor and script both push that vocal style, so the word becomes part of his speech pattern.
- Catchphrase function: Repeating a simple word makes a character memorable to young viewers and helps build a consistent personality trait the audience can expect.
- Pragmatic use: “Dude” works as an all-purpose exclamation — greeting, surprise, excitement — so it’s handy in short, action‑packed episodes.
If you meant a different Zuma (a game or another show), tell me which one and I’ll explain that instance.
