Rider does his best to be responsible and a good role model for his younger siblings, but he's nothing more than a puppy at heart. He's a complete momma's boy, following her around when ever she's there and always just wanting to curl up in a ball of fluff, snuggled up beside his mom. When she isn't around, however, he can be strong and a good leader, though he sometimes lacks the confidence to share his smart thoughts. He does much better when accompanied by his other siblings, Roxie and Ridley, which helps boost his confidence a lot, mostly because he knows they have his back.
