Concept and creation
Pluto was named after the dwarf planet Pluto which was discovered in 1930, the same year that the character was introduced, and thus is indirectly named after the Roman god of the underworld. Pluto was the Roman god of the underworld known in Latin as Tertius the counterpart of the Greek Hades.
Pluto, designed and supervised by Disney animator, Norm Ferguson, 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, Pluto is one of the first cartoon characters that is actually shown to have thought processes through the use of character animation. Character animation is a specialized area of the Animation process concerning the animation of one or more characters featured in an animated work The dog's thought processes are showcased in a landmark scene from 1934's Playful Pluto, in which Pluto becomes stuck to a piece of fly paper, and attempts to figure out a way to get himself unstuck.

A fly-killing device usually attracts flying Insects including Houseflies, Wasps
Naming
The pup first appeared in Walt Disney's short The Chain Gang. , released in the USA on 18 August 1930. However, it had no name. The next appearance was on 23 October 1930, in The Picnic. . Here the dog is named, but it is Rover, not Pluto. It was in The Moose Hunt. , released on 8 May 1931, that the dog is called Pluto the Pup, the studio's original name. A September 1931 model sheet for the character with that name is illustrated in Barrier's Hollywood Cartoons. [2]
Obviously, several months had passed between the naming of what was believed to have been the ninth planet, Pluto, on 24 March 1930, and the attachment of that name to the dog character. Venetia Burney (later Venetia Phair), who as an eleven-year-old schoolgirl had suggested the name Pluto for the planet, remarked in 2006: “The name had nothing to do with the Disney cartoon. Venetia Katherine Douglas Phair (née Burney) (born 1919 was the first person to suggest the name Pluto for the object discovered by Clyde W Mickey Mouse's dog was named after the planet, not the other way around. ”[3]
Although it has been claimed that the Disney studio named the dog after the planet (rather than after the mythical god of the underworld), this needs further verification. Disney animator Ben Sharpsteen has said that, "We thought the name [Rover] was too common, so we had to look for something else. [. . . ] We changed it to Pluto the Pup, [. . . ] but I don't honestly remember why. "[4]
