Characterization

Unlike Mickey's other animal friends, such as

(who is also a dog), Pluto is a relatively normal animal, with few anthropomorphic traits apart from his facial expressions. Pluto usually does not speak in English, walk upright, or wear clothing. A significant departure from this was his speaking role in ''The Moose Hunt'' (1931), which was produced before Pluto's characterization had been clearly defined. As Pluto made more appearances, it became common that he would mostly speak in barks and grunts like most dogs. Other ways of communicating Pluto's thoughts occur through his facial expressions, and sometimes through the use of a shoulder angel/devil who speak directly to Pluto. (''Mickey's Elephant'', '' Lend a Paw''). Pluto is generally a cheerful and adventurous dog, although he can be given to sheer panic when confronted with something unknown. Common themes in Pluto's stories involve him becoming jealous of Mickey getting another pet (''Mickey's Elephant'', '' Lend a Paw'', '' Mickey and the Seal''), Pluto accidentally and unwittingly swallowing something and panicking when he realizes it (''

'', ''Donald and Pluto''), Pluto getting entangled with something inanimate like a piece of

Shirts, hats, toys and other various types of merchandise featuring Pluto are available.
