== History ==
Dorothy Gale is a girl living in Kansas with her Aunt Em and Uncle Henry as well as farmhands Hunk, Hickory, and Zeke. She owns a dog named Toto, a cat named Tom and a mouse named Jerry. Aunt Em asks Tom and Jerry to put their differences aside, and watch over Dorothy; the two reluctantly agree. Later, Miss Almira Gulch, who was bitten by Toto earlier, arrives at the Gale farm and takes him away to be put down. Witnessing this, Tom and Jerry give chase and successfully free Toto. Dorothy runs away from home with Toto shortly afterwards. As Tom and Jerry return home, a tornado strikes the area and the two seek refuge in their house after failing to join Aunt Em, Uncle Henry and the farmhands in the storm cellar. Tom and Jerry are knocked out while trying to get inside the house.
Once they wake up, they find themselves in Munchkinland. The two encounter a grey Munchkin mouse named Tuffy, who tries to keep Jerry safe from harm, assuming Tom wanted to eat him, but Jerry clears up the misunderstanding. Tuffy informs them that the house they arrived in a few hours ago landed on and crushed the Wicked Witch of the East. As gratitude, the Good Witch of the North, Glinda, gave the witch's ruby slippers to Dorothy, but the Wicked Witch of the West appeared and swore to claim the slippers for herself. Glinda sent down Dorothy the yellow brick road to reach the Emerald City and find the famed Wizard of Oz in order to get back home. Tuffy advises them not to follow, but Tom and Jerry keep their promise to protect her and insist on following her. Tuffy wishes to be taller, so he decides to accompany them as he wants to see the Wizard as well.
==Trivia==
*This version of Dorothy seems to be based off her 1939 film counterpart.
