Actually Walt Disney created a cartoon dog character named Pluto to the Mickey Mouse cartoon series in the former planet's honor after the planet was discovered.

The name Pluto was proposed by a 11 year old little girl named Vernetia Burney from Oxford, England. The name was derived from "Pluto" the god of the underworld in classic mythology.
