Pluto does not have the same orbital plane as the other 8 planets. That is one reason why the origin of Pluto is debated.

What is the planet with an orbit that intersects the orbit of the dwarf planet Pluto?

The planet with an orbit that intersects the orbit of the dwarf planet Pluto is Neptune. Neptune, the eighth and farthest known planet from the Sun in the Solar System, has an orbit that crosses Pluto's orbit due to its elliptical path around the Sun. This orbital relationship between Neptune and Pluto is one of the factors that led to Pluto's reclassification as a dwarf planet in 2006 by the International Astronomical Union.

Depends whether you include Pluto as a planet or not (I think it isn't at the moment - but it does seem to swap back and forth!). So, if you include Pluto, then it's Pluto. If you include all the dwarf planets (of which Pluto is one) - then its Eris. Otherwise, it's Neptune

Wouldn't Neptune be considered a dwarf planet because it crosses paths with Pluto?

No. A dwarf planet is classified as a celestial body in direct orbit of the sun that is large enough to be controlled by gravitational force rather than mechanical forces but has not cleared its path of orbit from other objects and debris. Where the planet orbits has nothing to do with planets being classified as dwarves.
