Pluto

Pluto was Mickey Mouse's pet dog. In his first appearance he was a bloodhound in the cartoon "The Chain Gang." Later he also was shows to have the attributes of a pointer, so he may be a mixed breed. He subsequently appeared as Minnie Mouse's pet dog Rover, before changing into his final form. Pluto was created in 1930, the same year the dwarf planet Pluto was discovered. He was named after the dwarf planet in 1931.  In "Pluto's Quin-puplets", Pluto was "married" to Fifi, pet dog of Minnie Mouse, with whom he had five puppies. He dislikes cats, especially Minnie Mouse's pet cat, Figaro. His nemesis was a bulldog named Butch. He had a child-like personality, and was clumsy.

Pluto was the God of the Underworld in Greek mythology. With the recent discoveries from the New horizon's spacecraft of the dwarf planet Pluto, now is a great time to name your pooch after it, just like Mickey Mouse did.
