In “The Wizard of Oz,” Dorothy’s love for Toto is what puts the entire film into motion.

When Toto bites the evil Miss Gulch, he is set to be euthanized, but Dorothy comes up with a plan to save her beloved dog. Long story short, she gets caught outside of a storm shelter when a tornado comes and whisks her away to the land of Oz, alongside her trusty canine companion.

However, Toto is also integral to the plot, because he’s the first one to figure out that the Wizard is a sham, and pulls back the curtain hiding him from the gang.

Toto has a permanent memorial at the Hollywood Forever cemetery.
