As the old saying goes, “every dog has its day.” And with today being National Dog Day, it’s only fitting that Pluto has officially been revealed to be part of the Disney Fab 50 Character Collection at Walt Disney World.

Mickey Mouse’s beloved pooch will have his statue featured at the Magic Kingdom in the park’s hub, as was previously revealed on the cover of the upcoming book A Portrait of Walt Disney World: 50 Years of the Most Magical Place on Earth.
