'''Pluto''' is [[King Mickey|Mickey's]] loyal pet dog and also appears to be a messenger for him. Pluto is one of the few characters to have a proper voice actor, but his barking is portrayed by Bill Farmer, who also voices [[Goofy]]. Pluto debuted in the 1930's animated cartoon, ''The Chain Gang''. Pluto has so far appeared in all games released so far, but he has continous absence throughout and appearing unexpectedly during certain points and no explanation of his absence has been given.

==Story==

Pluto has a minor role in ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' but a notable one. Pluto is found by [[Donald]] in the throne room of [[Disney Castle]] with a letter from the King who has gone missing (he has actually gone off to fight the [[Heartless]]). 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 [[Keyblade]] Master. Pluto hops into the [[Gummi Ship]] at the last moment as it departs.

 

In [[Traverse Town]], the group witness the disappearance of a star and rush off to find [[Leon]]. Pluto wanders off into an alley way, discovering an unconscious [[Sora]], who the dog wakes up with a lick and a sudden shove. Sora asks Pluto where they are, but the dog seems to hear something and rushes off. He disappears for the remainder of the game, although it's possible he was reunited with King Mickey - as he appears suddenly at the end-credits scene carrying a letter with the King's seal. Sora, Donald and Goofy chase him over the hills.

 

Pluto has a brief appearance in ''[[Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories]]'' at the beginning. Sora, Donald and Goofy spot that he is carrying an envelope with the King's seal. Pluto rushes off, the three running after him. However, it appears they lost track of him or gave up due to it being night. However, the pursuit of Pluto leads the trio to a crossroad which eventually leads to [[Castle Oblivion]], and the events of the game. It is possible this Pluto is actually a memory form created by [[Naminé]] in order to lure Sora to the castle.

Pluto appears as a friend card in [[Re:Chain of Memories]]. He digs up health and moogle points for Sora when summoned. It is unknown if this is the real Pluto.

Pluto returns in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', oddly 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 a hidden [[Riku]] opens another for him. Pluto arrives on [[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 after 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 [[Xehanort's Heartless]] and chases him off. As Riku is about to leave, Pluto blocks his path and moves Riku in the direction of Kairi. Riku allows Kairi to remove his hood. Pluto disappears until the defeat of Xemnas, leaping into a corridor made by Naminé which leads to Destiny Islands. Despite the fact that Kairi, Donald, Goofy, King Mickey and Pluto passed through the portal to the islands, Pluto was not present when Sora and Riku returned. Pluto is seen in the credits with [[Huey, Dewey, and Louie|Huey]], [[Huey, Dewey, and Louie|Dewey]], [[Huey, Dewey, and Louie|Louie]], [[Scrooge McDuck|Uncle Scrooge]], Donald, Goofy and King Mickey when they return to [[Disney Castle]].

In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', Pluto apparently takes a liking to Kairi, as he spends most of his time with her, does not hesitate to follow Axel as he escapes with her, and attempts to comfort her when they are locked in the Castle's basement.

===''[[Kingdom Hearts coded]]''===

Pluto will be reappearing in ''[[Kingdom Hearts coded]]''. Screenshots have shown Pluto and the digital [[Sora]] in an alley in [[Traverse Town]]. In a trailer for the game Pluto is shown meeting Sora before running off, as in the first game, but then is shown watching Donald, Goofy and Sora meet up before running down an alley and into a Corridor Of Darkness. It was also revealed in the trailer that King Mickey was present in Traverse Town at that time, hinting that Pluto ran off to meet up with him as many fans speculated.
