I always thought it strange - Goofy is a dog, and is Mickey's peer. 
Pluto is a dog, and is Mickey's pet. Isn't that like Pluto being 
Mickey's slave?

Oh, if you're talking about Pluto, the ex-planet - what does "birthday" 
mean?

Pluto has a year of about 248 Earth years, so it's been less than a 
year since it was discovered. I doubt there's anyone who can mark 
Pluto's age to 1 Earth day accuracy.
