Pluto is part of the Kuiper Belt, a ring of icy cold objects orbiting the Sun similar to the asteroid belt which starts at Neptune's orbit (around 30 times further from the Sun than Earth is) and ends around 50 times further from the Sun than Earth is. The Kuiper Belt contains millions or even billions of small frozen objects such as asteroids and comets, at least 70,000 of which are bigger than about 100km in diameter and about 200 of which are probably big enough to be considered dwarf planets, i.e. round balls of rock and ice big enough to have planet-like attributes such as internal layers, atmospheres, surface features, moons, etc. Pluto is one of the largest of these dwarf planets.
And of course in the very big picture Pluto, along with all other Kuiper Belt objects, planets, moons, asteroids and comets that orbit the Sun, belongs to the Solar System, which is part of the galaxy and ultimately the Universe. Pluto is therefore part of these systems too.
