It is probably best to park in the cemetery near the Mausoleum and walk north along the dirt road. The road to the west of the cemetery is posted "No Tresspassing" at the north end when it turns to dirt..I drove up there and I was chased off by two guys on a four wheeler who worked for the cemetery. They said that I could park at the end of the pavement if I wanted to.
Toto is the name of a fictional dog in L. Frank Baum's Oz series of children's books, and works derived from them.
The name is pronounced with a long "O", a homonym of "toe toe". Toto belongs to Dorothy Gale, the heroine of the first and many subsequent books.
In The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Baum did not specifically state Toto's breed, but describes him as "a little black dog, with long, silky hair and small black eyes that twinkled merrily on either side of his funny, wee nose". However, from the illustrations in the first book many have concluded that Toto is a Cairn Terrier while others believe the dog is a Yorkshire Terrier as this breed was very popular at the time. In subsequent books Toto becomes a Boston Terrier for reasons that are never explained, but then resumes the earlier look in later books.
In the 1939 movie The Wizard of Oz, Toto was played by a female black Cairn Terrier whose real name was Terry. Terry was paid a $125 salary each week, which was far more than many of the human actors (the Singer Midgets who played the Munchkins only received $50 a week). During production Terry's foot was broken when one of the witch's guards stepped on her. A second dog had to be used while her foot healed. Because of the popularity of the movie, and because that role was the one she was most remembered for, Terry's owner changed her official name to Toto. She actually appeared in 13 different films. She died at age 10 or 11. Willard Carroll wrote her "autobiography," I, Toto.
