Bluey's parents have distinct professions that reflect clever nods to their canine nature:

• Bandit (Bluey's father) is an archaeologist with a PhD. He enjoys digging for bones, which ties humorously to being a dog. His work involves field digs and research, as seen in episodes where he goes on archaeological digs and has a home office filled with artifacts and maps

• Chilli (Bluey's mother) works part-time in airport security. She appears to have a role that sometimes allows remote work, and her job connects to the idea of dogs being used in security roles such as sniffing luggage. While less is shown about her exact duties, it is clear she balances work and family life

Together, they manage a work-life balance that allows them to spend ample time playing with Bluey and Bingo, even though their jobs occasionally encroach on family time

. In summary, Bandit is an archaeologist, and Chilli works in airport security part-time
