What Kind Of Dog Was Toto:

Dorothy's little dog in L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz is
described as a black dog, with long, silky hair. The illustrator W.W.
Denslow made him look like a disheveled terrier or Scottie. Later editions
illustrated by John R. Neill redrew Toto as a Boston bull. For the MGM
movie, Scotties were considered but a Cairn terrier named Terry eventually
landed the role.
