Pluto ... which I think was the first member of the newly-defined "dwarf planet" category ... has two known moons.
No. The statement is shocking in its glaring falseness. Pluto has been labeled a dwarf planet, and to this date, five of its moons have been discovered. Also, Haumea (2), Makemake (1) and Eris (1) have moons. Even some asteroids may have tiny moons. One NEO (Near Earth Object), 1994-CC, is an asteroid about 700 meters wide with two orbiting asteroidal moons a few meters across.
Of the eight planets in our solar system, the first two (Mercury and Venus) have no natural satellites. The dwarf planets Pluto and Eris have six moons between them. There is no relationship between the number of moons an object has and whether or not it is a planet. Planets may have no moons, while objects that are not planets may have multiple moons. In general, the larger the planet, the more moons it tends to have.
Among the major planets of the solar system, Earth [1], Mars [2], Jupiter [66], Saturn [62], Uranus [27], and Neptune [13] have moons. Among the dwarf planets, Orcus [1], Pluto-Charon [4], Quaoar [1], Haumea [2], and Eris [1] have moons.
