Disney & Norm Ferguson

He was initially a minor character until 1934, when Disney animator Norm Ferguson gave the dog a key role in his own cartoon.

He then becomes entangled with a sticky piece of flypaper, and Ferguson expanded the sequence significantly.

The segment became a classic, demonstrating how Disney artists can take a simple circumstance and build humor through a character.

He is considered one of the first Disney characters to break out of the "rubber hose and circle" formula style the studio had relied on; the dog's design gave him the appearance of actually being round instead of flat.

In addition, he is one of the first cartoon characters that is actually shown to have thought processes through the use of character animation.

Pluto

Donald Duck

In his own cartoons, his friends included Fifi the Peke, Dinah the Dachshund, and Ronnie the St. Bernard Puppy.

His enemies included Black Pete, Donald Duck, Salty the Seal, Butch the Bulldog, Figaro the Kitten, Chip 'n Dale, Spike the Bee, Ol' Benttail the Coyote, Milton the cat and other characters.

In Disney's 1937 animated short, Quinpuplets, he has a son who is simply referred to as " Junior."

In the 1946 animated short, he has a younger brother named K.B.

Although he does not normally speak, like his anthropomorphized companions, he communicates in a series of dog barks, facial expressions and body movement. The only words Pluto ever spoke were "Kiss me."
