Happy Birthday Pluto

It’s the birthday of Mickey’s cute, cuddly and loyal pet Pluto on September 5. During the occasion Disney Channel has come up with two special episodes of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Mickey’s Have a Laugh starring Pluto to be aired on Monday from 11.30 am to 2.00 pm. Die-hard Pluto fans can also watch a special birthday song created especially for him. Interestingly, Pluto was in the entertainment business before he came to be known as Mickey’s pet. He made his screen debut in the Disney film The Chain Gang. Later that year he was cast as Minnie’s dog in another flick The Picnic. It wasn’t until the movie The Moose Hunt that Pluto finally found the best friend a dog could ever have, Mickey. Ever since, everyone’s favourite pet from Disney, Pluto has appeared in many films, including 44 theatrical cartoons. And he has some love interests as well. As a lovable pup Pluto has surely found some attention from his female counterparts, first from Fifi, Minnie Mouse’s pet and then from Dinah, the Dachshund. A true friend of Mickey, when confronted with a problem he usually takes the time to reason things out rather than acting on instinct, and can implement surprisingly creative solutions. Pluto communicates in a series of sweet dog barks, heart-melting facial expressions and body movements. The only words he has ever spoken were in the cartoon The Moose Hunt, where he says “Kiss me”. Well, we all love Pluto and this is one birthday that deserves a grand celebration!
