In the PAW Patroller, Ryder took a book out of a rucksack he had taken with him.

"Since I can remember, I've always been interested in magic, but one night I came across a chapter about the Amulet of Avalor. And when I say 'magic', I don't mean like magic tricks at parties. I mean actual magic like talking to animals," Ryder said.

"So you mean like magic powers?" Rubble asked.

"That's right, Rubble. I have no idea how I got interested in magic; it just happened. There's also a rule involved," Ryder confirmed.

"What's the rule, Ryder?" Skye asked.

Ryder opened the book to a bookmarked page and read to the pups, "With each deed performed for better or worse, a power's granted, a blessing or a curse."

The pups were shocked.

"Ryder, do you think that's the reason as to why we talk?" Rocky asked.

"Rocky, all pups and dogs speak," Chase said to his friend by demonstrating with a bark.

"I know that, Chase, but I mean, could the reason we actually talk could actually be because of magic powers?" Rocky said.

"I don't think we'll ever find out why you pups actually talk, but it's a good thing you can, because you can tell me if you have a problem," Ryder said.

The pups playfully tackled Ryder to the floor and started licking him.

"What say we go to the castle as invited by Princess Sofia?" Ryder suggested after laughing while the pups licked him.

The pups howled in delight and they set off on foot to Enchancia Castle.
