What year did toto the dog form the wizard of oz die in?

i was just wondering of the dog toto what year the dog died in??|||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 $125.00 salary each week, which was far more than many of the human actors (the Singer Midgets who played the Munchkins only received $50.00 a week). Also, Terry was stepped on by one of the witch's guards, and a double had to be used because her foot was broken. The popularity of the movie actually changed her name to Toto, because that was the role she was most remembered for. However, The Wizard of Oz wasn't the only film that Terry played a role. She actually starred in 13 films. She died at age 10. |||Toto's real name was terry but she did not die at age 10 she was 11 she died 3 days after her 11th birthday i know this cuz the owner of toto was my great great grandma :) she raised star pets :)

The exact date of Toto's death is not known. Some say that Toto died of heart worm in 1942, 1943, or 1944. I suspect that she (not he) died in 1944.





MORE INFORMATION:





The female Cairn terrier's name was originally "Terry III," but it was changed, at the age of 5, to "Toto" after the dog became famous in "The Wizard of Oz" (making $125/week). (Probably the dog was named after the "terrier" breed).





TOTO WAS IN 13 MOVIES BETWEEN 1939 AND 1942 (THIS IS A PARTIAL LIST):





1. George Washington Slept Here (1942)


2. Twin Beds (1942)


3. Calling Philo Vance (1940)


4. The Wizard of Oz (1939)


5. Bad Little Angel (1939)

9. Dark Angel (1935)


10. Bright Eyes (with Shirley Temple) (1934)

WHERE IS TOTO BURIED?:





1. Some say that Toto was buried in the Los Angeles back yard (now under the Ventura Freeway) of her trainer, Carl Spitz. Apparently Toto was not buried in the back yard of Spitz, but Carl was so upset about Toto dying that he buried the biography of Toto in his back yard. So, it was the biography, not the dog, that was buried there. During the construction of the Ventura Freeway (San Fernando Valley, California), William Carroll found the biography and published it (it was called "I, Toto." By the way, Carl Spitz died in 1976.





2. Some say that Toto was buried in North Carolina, in a marked grave with Toto's name, next to the grave of trainer Spitz.





3. The Guiness Book of World Records wrote that Toto was stuffed and auctioned in 1996 for $3,680.
