Fifi the Peke |
Minnie's pekinese dog since her youth, accordind to the
"Minnie'n me" storyline, she is also Pluto's greatest love, since she has
had a litter of five puppies with him (the "Quin-Puplets"). she first appears
in "Mickey Mouse" Sunday strip, from March 6, 1932, as "Flapper", and then
as "Fifi" in the cartoon "Puppy Love" from September 2, 1933. Among the
others Pluto's loves, she is the only one who ONLY loves Pluto (as Dinah
and Tiki also like Butch), excepted for the tale "Puppies are Coming",
from a "Minnie'n me" book from 1991, in which she has four Pekinese puppies
whose father is unknown. |
Pluto the Pup |
Mickey's dog first appears in "The Chain Gang" , fromSep.
5, 1930 - as an unnamed dog, but the first time he is called Pluto and
belongs to Mickey is in "The Moose Hunt", from May 3, 1931.  |
Kid Brother "K.B." |
In the cartoon "Pluto's Kid Brother", from April 12,
1946, we can meet this Pluto's younger brother. In this cartoon, Kid is
putting Pluto into troubles with Butch, Lucifer the cat, and the dogcatcher...
Together with Junior and the Quinpuplets, they are the only dogs who are
from the same species than Pluto. (one-shot) |
Dinah the Dachshund |
Pluto second biggest love. He seems to be very in love
with her, although she sometimes seems to date Butch too. In her first
cartoon, "The Sleepwalker", from 1942, she is shown to already have puppies,
and so she has in "Canine Casanova" , from1945, but as I have never seen
those cartoons, I cannot say how many puppies there are, neither if they
are the same in those two cartoons. HELP WELCOME!!!
Except for the cartoon "In Dutch" , from 1946, that cannot
be taken as factual as it takes place in the Netherlands, in which she
is the Mayor's dog, she doesn't have known owners in any cartoons. The
only time we see her owner is in MM 19/11/50, and it is Black Pete, a dog
catcher who uses her to make dogs follow her and be caught.  |

New Neighbor" from August 1, 1953, in which he annoys Donald Duck, and

6, 1999, "Pluto vs. the Watchdog", in which Mickey has to buy a new dog
because Pluto is not able to watch-dogging... but he didn't know it was
Pete's dog, who will help him to burgle Mickey's house... |
Butch |
Big, burly, macho blue-gray and white bulldog with a
studdedcollar, heavy black eyebrows and a snarling mouth full of sharp
teeth, Butch is first seen in the cartoon "Bone Trouble" ,from 1940. Until
then, he is Pluto's worst ennemy, except in a "Mouseworks" ' episode,
"Pluto's Arrow Error", in which he falls in love with
Pluto because of a mistake of him with some magic love arrows... |
Tiki |
In the cartoon Pluto's Penthouse Sweet, an episode
form the Mouseworks, first shown on TV on May 8, 1999, Pluto fall in love
with Tiki, a Maltese Terrier, and spies and pursues her to her sky-high
skycraper, which is very difficult because Butch also loves her and guards
the building. Finally, he succeeds in going into her appartement, and she
jumps on him, but he realizes that he loves Mickey and that he would be
sad without him, so he goes back to his house, which is even more difficult
than coming... Her owner is a woman, whose name must be Penthouse,
as it is written on the door. (one-shot) |
