Terry (November 17, 1933 – September 1, 1945) was a female Cairn Terrier performer who appeared in many different movies, most famously as Toto in the film The Wizard of Oz (1939). It was her only credited role, though she was credited not as Terry but as Toto, and because of the role's popularity her name was officially changed to Toto in 1942.[1] She was owned and trained by Carl Spitz and Gabrielle Quinn.
