'''Pluto''' is [[Mickey Mouse|King Mickey]]'s loyal pet dog and also appears to be a messenger for him in some ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|series}}'' games. He debuted in the 1930s animated cartoon ''{{w|The Chain Gang}}''.

==Story==
===''Before Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''===
Pluto is Mickey's pet in the [[Country of the Musketeers]].

===''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''===
Pluto is present when [[Queen Minnie]] yells out to [[Terra]], who was running around on the race track in [[Disney Town]]. He is also present when [[Aqua]] and [[Ventus]] visit the world.

===''Kingdom Hearts''===
[[File:Where Am I 02 KH.png|thumb|left|While wandering around in Traverse Town, Pluto suddenly stumbles upon a sleeping Sora.]]
Pluto is found by [[Donald Duck|Donald]] in the throne room of [[Disney Castle]] with a letter from the King who has gone missing. Pluto later sleeps during the conversation of options between Queen Minnie, Donald, [[Goofy]], [[Daisy Duck]], and [[Jiminy Cricket]]. Donald, Goofy, and Jiminy are sent to locate the King and the [[Sora|Keyblade Wielder]]. Pluto hops into the [[Gummi Ship]] at the last moment as it departs.

In [[Traverse Town]], the group witnesses the disappearance of a star and rush off to find [[Leon]]. Pluto wanders off into an alleyway, discovering an unconscious Sora. The dog wakes him up with a lick and a sudden shove. Sora asks Pluto where they are, but sensing Mickey's presence,<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts Ultimania#Kingdom Hearts Ultimania|Kingdom Hearts Ultimania]]''''', '''Interviewer''': "In the end of the ending, Pluto has the King's letter. Is that implying that the King returned through the Door of Light?" / '''Tetsuya Nomura''': "Actually, between when he <nowiki>[Pluto]</nowiki> first disappears and then appears again in the ending, he met with the King. The reason why Pluto perked up in Traverse Town was because he felt the King's presence." [https://kh-ultimania.livejournal.com/3508.html Translation via Rasenth].</ref> he rushes off towards the Third District.{{storylink|Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance}} Pluto follows Mickey's trail into a Corridor of Darkness.{{storylink|Kingdom Hearts coded}}

After meeting up with the King, he receives a second letter that he travels across the Realm of Light with, visiting many worlds that Sora had not seen in his first journey.<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts Ultimania#Kingdom Hearts Ultimania|Kingdom Hearts Ultimania]]''''', '''Interviewer''': "Which worlds did Pluto travel when he had that letter?" / '''Tetsuya Nomura''': "I can say that he appeared in worlds that do not appear in the game."

===''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories''===
[[File:Closing the Door 09 KH.png|thumb|Pluto suddenly appears out of nowhere with a letter from the King.]]
While on the road, Sora, Donald, and Goofy spot Pluto carrying an envelope with the King's seal. Pluto rushes off, while the three run after him. However, it appears they lost track of him or gave up due to it being night. The pursuit of Pluto leads the trio to a crossroad, which eventually leads to [[Castle Oblivion]].

===''Kingdom Hearts II''===
[[File:Axel Closes in on Kairi 02 KHII.png|thumb|left|Pluto shows up to prevent Kairi from going with Axel.]]
Pluto is seen wandering around in [[The World That Never Was]] for unknown reasons, although he seems to be tracking [[Axel]]. He chases Axel into an alley only to lose him once he enters a [[Corridor of Darkness]], but then [[Riku]], who is wearing a [[black coat]], appears and opens another Corridor of Darkness for him. Pluto arrives on the [[Destiny Islands]] just in time to prevent [[Kairi]] from going with Axel. Pluto and Kairi escape into [[Twilight Town]] where they meet [[Hayner]], [[Pence]], and [[Olette]]. Axel soon appears and kidnaps Kairi, and Pluto chases them.

Pluto and Kairi end up imprisoned in a cell in the [[Castle That Never Was]]. They are rescued by Naminé and escape. They are soon confronted by [[Saïx]], but Riku appears in his disguise as [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness|Ansem]] and chases him off. As Riku is about to leave, Pluto blocks his path and moves Riku in the direction of Kairi, who removes his hood. Pluto disappears until the defeat of Xemnas, leaping into a corridor made by Naminé, which leads to the Destiny Islands. Despite the fact that Kairi, Donald, Goofy, King Mickey, and Pluto passed through the portal to the islands, Pluto was not shown when Sora and Riku returned. Pluto is later on seen with [[Huey, Dewey, and Louie]], [[Scrooge McDuck|Uncle Scrooge]], Donald, Goofy, and King Mickey when they return to Disney Castle.

===''Kingdom Hearts coded''===
When [[Data-Sora]] fixes Traverse Town's [[Bug Blox]] corruption the Journal shows everyone in Disney Castle's computer the message "Their torment has been lessened" and a scene is shown, where Sora, Donald, and Goofy first meet. The scene shifts to show Pluto in the background revealing that after the battle against the [[Guard Armor]], Pluto ran off into a Corridor of Darkness.<!--THIS SHOULD BE WRITTEN IN-UNIVERSE-->

===''Kingdom Hearts III''===
Pluto happily greets Mickey when he returns to Disney Castle after Xehanort's defeat.

==Design==
Pluto is a dog that bears a vague resemblance to a {{w|Blood hound|blood hound}}, particularly in his long, black, droopy ears. He has short, yellow fur and large, close-set eyes. He has three toes on each paw. Pluto's long tail is very thin and black, more closely resembling his master Mickey's tail than that of a dog. His collar is green and loose.

==Personality==
Pluto is Mickey's loyal friend. Although he does not appear often with his master, their friendship is easily seen. In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', Pluto is shown to take a liking to Kairi, and becomes her source of comfort. When Axel kidnaps Kairi, Pluto pursues the two through a Corridor of Darkness, and later comforts her while they were locked in the Castle's basement.

==Abilities==
Being a dog, Pluto has naturally heightened senses, allowing him to sniff out and detect people or objects.

===''Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories''===
[[File:Pluto (card).png|right]]
{{main|Lucky Bounty}}
Pluto appears in ''Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories'' as a [[friend card]] in [[Sora]]'s story. 

Activating a Pluto card causes him to dig up prizes such as HP orbs, [[Moogle]] points, and even unreloadable cards for Sora to use in battle. When stocked in twos or threes, Lucky Bounty is used as a sleight, offering better prizes with each level.
 
In order for the Pluto card to be added to [[Jiminy's Journal]], it must be collected once.

The Pluto Friend Card has a 20% chance of appearing instead of another Friend Card when Sora has 2 or fewer Cards left, and 9 or fewer reloadable Cards.

==Origin==
Pluto, while not actually named, first appeared in the 1930 Disney animated short ''{{w|The Chain Gang}}''. In the short, Mickey attempts to escape from jail after tiring of smashing rocks under Pete's command. Mickey manages to escape, but is caught by police dogs, one of them greatly resembling Pluto, and is taken back to jail. He later appeared as Mickey's dog in the 1930 short, ''The Picnic'', under the name Rover, and finally debuted as Pluto in the 1931 short, ''The Moose Hunt''.

==Trivia==
*The contents of the letter in Pluto's mouth at the end of ''Kingdom Hearts'' and beginning of ''Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories'' are still unknown.
