Bluey fans—kids and their parents–were left reeling after the season finale aired over the weekend.
Known for its heartwarming portrayal of family life through the eyes of an imaginative Australian Blue-Heeler puppy named Bluey and her family, the show has garnered a dedicated following of children and adults alike.
