In the original 1900 book edition of 'The Wizard of Oz', Toto is the name of Dorothy Gale's pet dog. In the beloved 1939 film version, the part is played by six-year-old Terry [1933-1944], a female black Cairn Terrier. Because of the popularity of the film and of her role in it, Terry went through a name change to Toto, in 1942. There are two versions of the disposition of Terry's/Toto's body with her death, in 1944. One is burial in the pet ground behind the residence of owner/trainer Carl Spitz [August 26, 1894-September 15, 1976]. With this version, any remains were lost with the subsequent razing of the residence and burial grounds in the Ventura freeway expansion in Los Angeles, California. The other version is stuffing, and auctioning in 1996 for $3,680. This is the disposition that's recorded in 'The Guinness Book of World Records'. Therefore, Terry's/Toto's burial grounds don't exist any longer. Or the body of Terry/Toto never went through a below-ground burial.
