History WesternAnimation / PlutoThePup

'''''Pluto The Pup''''' is an animated cartoon character from the Creator/WaltDisney cartoon studio, the loyal pet of MickeyMouse and, for a while, the star of his own series of short subjects during UsefulNotes/TheGoldenAgeOfAnimation. At one point, he even overshadowed the mouse in his own cartoons. He is notable for being one of the few recurring classic Disney animal characters who is not anthropomorphized.

He acted as a foil for WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck, {{Figaro}}, Butch the Bulldog, ChipAndDale, and sometimes Salty the Seal and Milton the cat. He also occasionally has a LoveInterest in the forms of Fifi the Pekingese in the 1930s and Dinah the dachshund in the 1940s and '50s. In some comic stories he is also the official mascot for the [[ComicBook/DisneyDucksComicUniverse Junior Woodchucks.]]

** He also makes an appearance in the {{Goofy}} short "Victory Vehicles", a WartimeCartoon. This cartoon shows alternate modes of transportation (since gas and rubber were rationed). One vehicle is powered by a dog (hence, Pluto) that chases after a cat (a scraggly-looking black cat), when it's put front of him.
