The answer for that is no. Pluto is now comsidered a dwarf planet. However, Pluto have many sisters and brothers. There are many dwarf planets that has been discovered. There maybe, some dwarf planets are still unknown because of the distance.
our dwarf planets are Pluto
Pluto, Eris, Ceres, Haumea and Makemake are five dwarf planets in our solar system. There are many dwarf planets some discovered and some undiscovered.
Dwarf Planets. The five dwarf planets (as of 2017) are:CeresPlutoHaumeaMakemakeEris
Counting only dwarf planets it is the second closest; Ceres is closer.Counting both planets and dwarf planets; Pluto is the 10th from the sun.
Of course they are "Dwarf Planets" like Pluto but: Makemake, Haumea, and Eris.

Pluto
Pluto is a dwarf planet. there has been dwarf planets found bigger then pluto.
There are only 8 planets so far (that have been discovered) in our solar system.There are also 4 dwarf planets (these are not proper planets).Starting with the closest to the sun:MercuryVenusEarthMars(Ceres - Dwarf)JupiterSaturnUranusNeptune(Pluto - Dwarf)(Makemake - Dwarf)(Eris - Dwarf)There are probably more - but these are the only ones that have been discovered.
Pluto was discovered in 1930 and dubbed the ninth planet. It was known as the ninth planet up until 2006, when it was reclassified as a dwarf planet. Now there are only eight officially recognised planets in our solar system, with an additional five dwarf planets and several more dwarf planet candidates.

No. Pluto is a rocky/icy dwarf planet. In fact, no dwarf planets are gaseous.
When a few dwarf planets had been discovered, it was found they have orbits which are significantly more elliptical and/or more highly inclined to the ecliptic than the eight main planets. Pluto had more in common with the new discoveries so a new class of dwarf planets was started, and Pluto was put into it.
None of the eight planets has an orbit that crossesanother. Dwarf planets (which include Pluto) and Dwarf Planet candidates do cross orbits of planets and each
