TOTO
Sportdogging Magazine
Before Benji, there was Toto. For those of you living under a rock, the landmark film "The Wizard of Oz" had a lead character named Dorothy, who had a female Cairn terrier named Toto. The movie has had a huge impact on popular culture since its release in 1939 -- phrases like "there's no place like home" and "we're off to see the Wizard" have become part of the American lexicon. And 70-plus years later, kids still name their new puppies Toto. The 5-year-old terrier, whose real name was Terry, was chosen from a stack of hundreds of photographs. If you think you've seen Toto in other movies, you have a keen eye -- she was used in more than a dozen films.
