Well, to be honest, all satellites and their planets orbit each other. In most cases the center of mass of the system is inside the planet because it’s very much more massive than the moon. In the case of Pluto and Charon, the difference in mass isn’t that great so you can tell that they’re orbiting around a point that isn’t entered on the planet’s center.
