Well. . . it can't be directly said that Pluto the dog was named after the former planet Pluto.

But what is known is that Pluto the dog first got his name from the Disney cartoon on May 18, 1931 called The Moose Hunt, where he is called "Pluto the Pup".

The makers of Pluto the dog claim the name has nothing to do with the planet, but it is still questionable.

Hope this helps!
