Dog Names that Start with Pl

The beloved Disney dog Pluto is probably the most famous animated dog in the world. Pluto first appeared in the Mickey Mouse cartoon called The Chain Gang, but he wasn't named Pluto until 1931. Originally, he was Minnie Mouse's dog, not Mickey's. This yellowish-orange pup became so popular that he even go his own series in 1937. He is unique in the sense that he is the only member of the "Sensational Six" Disney characters that is not dressed as a human, even though all of the characters are non-human animals. The other members of the "Sensational Six" are Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Donald, and Daisy. Since Pluto doesn't talk, he is also known for his ability to express emotion and personality through animation instead of dialogue.

Many Disney fans have expressed confusion between Pluto and Goofy, because Goofy asks like a human, while Pluto is very much dog-like. This confusion has seeped into many television series over the last few decades, but it seems that Pluto will always be a pet and Goofy a "person."

Pluto is known for his loyalty to Mickey through thick and thin. He is portrayed as protective of his mouse owner. Pluto is very much like a real life dog, as he is devoted to his family and seems his happiest when he is with his owners Mickey and Minnie. Unlike your pooch at home, Pluto has some special abilities given to him by the creators of the cartoons. For example, Pluto has been known to clean and play golf in the Disney cartoons he is included in.

Pluto is also the name of the Davis family dog in the movie The Stray. This adopted dog seems to have miraculous abilities that the family compares to those of a guardian angel. Pluto the Wonderdog, as he is affectionately known, is able to save a marriage and a toddler from harm. This amazing dog is also able to provide comfort and companionship to his family. Pluto is played by a dog named Shiloh in real life.

Another famous dog with a "pl" name is Plugger. Plugger is the Border Collie mix that serves as Anna's companion in the movie A Million Ways to Die in the West. The movie came out in 2014, and Plugger plays a minor role in the movie that also stars Charlize Theron and Seth MacFarlane. Plugger's name is perfect for a dog in the wild, wild west.
