The Wizard of Oz

The Wizard of Oz

by

L. Frank Baum

Toto is Dorothy’s small, black dog. He and Dorothy have a close and loving relationship, and Dorothy is extremely loyal to him—she and Toto are whisked away to Oz in the first place because Dorothy decides to try to rescue Toto from the cyclone rather than leave him to his fate and join Aunt Em in the cyclone shelter.

Toto played all day long, and Dorothy played with him, and loved him dearly.
