Produktbeschreibung

L. Frank Baum got it all wrong. Well, that's the way Toto saw it. Toto asserts that the inconsistencies between L. Frank Baum's version and how the adventures truly unfolded are due in part to Baum's inability to understand Toto's Cairn terrier accent. Toto has now decided to set the record straight. Toto asserts that the inconsistencies between L. Frank Baum's version and how the adventures truly unfolded are due in part to Baum's inability to understand Toto's Cairn terrier accent. This failure prompted Baum to focus primarily on Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tin Woodman, and Lion, overlooking Toto's contributions. Toto, now in his declining years, has decided to set the record straight and show how he, with courage, foresight, and determination, guided his companions unscathed through one perilous mishap after another. For without Toto's guidance, his companions could still be wandering aimlessly through the Land of Oz. Toto's Adventures with Dorothy, as told by Toto, is the true tail of their exploits in the Land of Oz. Although Toto can articulate his thoughts and observations clearly, it is when he attempts to verbalize them to his companions that he finds himself hampered by his thick canine accent. In other words, he barks. Toto nonetheless offers his advice whenever they find themselves in one perilous mishap after another. For without Toto's courage, foresight, and determination, as far as he is concerned, they could all still be wandering futilely through the Land of Oz. Or worse, slain by any of the evil threats they encounter. When told that the Wizard of Oz never appears in his true form, and presuming that Wizards are mostly likely courageous, brilliant, generous to a fault, and the best companion one could ever wish for, Toto concluded that the Wizard's true form is most certainly a breed of dog. A, perhaps? Having ascertained this knowledge by deduction, Toto was eager to meet snout to snout what he envisioned as the Great Wizard Dog!
