Toto (Oz)

Toto is the deuteragonist of The Wizard of Oz franchise.
He is Dorothy's pet Cairn Terrier and best friend. Although he is credited as himself, actually, he was played by a female dog named Terry.
==History==
Toto (pronounced Toe-Toe) is a fictional dog created by L. Frank Baum, author and creator of the Oz legacy. He serves strictly as an animal sidekick who makes his debut appearance in Baum's first Oz book titled The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, published in 1900, and is introduced in the first chapter of the novel titled The Cyclone. Toto is the beloved pet dog and loyal companion of Dorothy Gale, the book's main heroine and child protagonist. He lived with his owner Dorothy who was an adolescent orphan raised by her two guardians; Aunt Em and Uncle Henry, on a small and poverty stricken farm upon the sunbaked Kansas prairies in circa 1899-1900. Toto was Dorothy's only friend and sole source of happiness and he would play with Dorothy all day, everyday, and keep her company on the lonely, isolated farmland. Because of his friendly and energetic nature, Toto stopped his little mistress from sharing the same bleak fates as the adults in her life who are described as being joyless and "gray".
In the days of the old west, early settlers on vast lonely prairies often relied on pets to keep them company. Toto was a popular name for dogs in the nineteenth century. In France, it is also a common nickname often given for little boys.
==Appearance==
Toto is a little cute terrier puppy. He has grey fur, black beady eyes, a long tail and he wears a bright red collar with a gold nametag with his name on it around his neck.
==Personality==
Toto is a little, but very brave canine. He is very protective about Dorothy, her friends, the Ruby Slippers and to everyone in Oz. And he'll snarl at those who disrespect them, in this case, Wilhelmina, her monkeys and the Wicked Witch of the West. Toto also has very little skills of fetching, as shown in "Wand-erful". He's also shown to be pretty smart and often shows ideas to his owner, before Dorothy gets the idea. On the other hand or paw, Toto is very loyal, caring and friendly around his friends, and he's always there to protect Dorothy and her slippers from the wrong hands.

==Trivia==
* So far in the 2017 Boomerang series, Toto has been the main focus in four episodes. And they were "Toto Unleashed", "Time After Time", "Toto Transformed" and "Toto a Go! Go!"
* Toto was also the first main character in Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz to have his name in an episode title. The first being "Toto Unleashed".
* It's revealed in "Dorothy's Christmas in Oz", Toto was given to Dorothy as a Christmas present from Santa back when she was in Kansas. A flashback was even shown in "Munchkin School."
*Despite Toto being a male dog, he was portrayed in the 1939 film by a female dog named Terry (1933 - 1945). She was born on November 17, 1933, and died on September 1, 1945 at age 11, two months and sixteen days before her twelfth birthday.
**In that way, Toto is followed by Tramp in the 1955 film Lady and the Tramp, as while Tramp is a male, he was modeled after a female dog.
