What does Toto stand for in the wizard of Oz? Best answer?

this is going to drive me insane...we are having a quiz on the wizard of oz and how it is an allegory for the populist movement and our history teacher told us we need to give two examples of what the dog Toto does that shows he's a symbol...There's only one problem. I have no idea what Toto stands for. Please help if you get it close to what I'm looking for I'll give you a best answer.|||Toto is small and innocent; he is caught up in forces over which he has no control. He was the specific target of the Wicked Witch and, before the tornado, the wicked woman on the bicycle took him away in her basket (only the storm saved him).





I think he symbolizes innocence and spunk. Despite his small size and the power of the forces that are out to get him, he dares to bark. He speaks up even when it draws the attention of his enemies to himself. He is the little man who dares to speak truth to power.|||You can find your answer here:

The acronym TOTO was, of course, adapted from the name of Dorothy's dog from The Wizard of Oz. TOTO was outfitted with a variety of weather instruments -- anemometers, pressure sensors and humidity sensors. To deploy TOTO, two men could unstrap its mooring cables and roll it out of the back of a customized pickup truck in about 30 seconds, using metal wheel ramps and the wheels visible on the front portion in each picture at left. TOTO would then be tipped into a vertical position and swiveled so that a certain side faced north (for accurate wind direction readings). Finding a suitable spot to place TOTO -- in the "heat of battle" with a potential tornado bearing down -- was no easy task. The TOTO crew had to quickly find a relatively level and firm surface, off the road, away from wind obstructions and potential debris generators (such as buildings and trees). With each deployment, there was also a heightened lightning strike risk from handling a large metal object in an open area|||The Populist Party was a coalition of Tinmen and Scarecrows.
