Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling From glen to glen, and down the mountain side The summer's gone, and all the roses falling 'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide. But come ye back when summer's in the meadow Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow 'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so.

Why would they name a dog after a planet? Why would someone name anything after anything?
Issue resolved
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 has not been verified. Disney animator Ben Sharpsteen has said: "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. I think we were stoned."
[QUOTE="th3warr1or"]Another thing I'm really curious about.. since Pluto was only discovered in 1930, why was it called Pluto then, considering the fact that I thought that it was the Greeks/Romans that named the planets after their gods. harashawn
