Hearn speculates that Baum intended for Toto to be a mongrel. W.W. Denslow, the original illustrator for The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, drew Toto as a terrier. When casting the 1939 movie, MGM took pains to find a dog that looked like Denslow's drawings. A cairn terrier named Terry was chosen to play the part of Toto.
