In the original 1902 stage version of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, Dorothy did not have a dog but a faithful cow named Imogene. While L. Frank Baum's book features the Toto we know and love, his adaptation opted for the larger animal. "It may seem a long jump from a dog to a cow, but in the latter animal we have a character that really ought to amuse the youngsters," he said in 1904.
