Look at this article I found, via Wikipedia!

This comes after seeing Terry in "The Women" and wanting to verify that it was her. I love this!

Very sweet. Thanks for sharing.

I had no idea they did this. Thanks very much for including the link! Have you read "I, Toto" - Toto's autobiography? It's wonderful.

Very sweet... it would have been especially precious if they could have reburied her where her monument stands.

Toto (Terry) is the reason I fell in love with Cairns. It is so nice to know that all of us who loved her have a special place we can go to pay tribute to her. She was one mighty special Cairn!

Wow! How neat that they did this! Thanks for posting it!

It all started with an idea and a Facebook page. Ahhhh, the power of Facebook....

There's additional information and some great pictures.

Great thread!

I am ashamed to say that I didn't know Toto was a Cairn prior to this year. I was born in the 80s, so it wasn't really popular then, but I really should have known better.

I spent the past couple of years researching dogs to decide which breeds I might want to adopt. I grew up with Jack Russells and adored them, but they shed too much for allergies in my family. When I stumbled upon Cairns earlier this year I'd never even heard of the breed. But I spent about four months doing research and research and more research before I decided they were the dog for me. Ever since Addie came home in July I'm convinced they're the only dog I'll ever have.

Now that I have Addie though, just about everyone who meets her says "Oh! A Toto dog!" making me feel even sillier I didn't have a clue myself until recently.

One question though: How on EARTH did they train her so beautifully!?!?! My little Addie is a mischief maker and as much work as I put into her training, half the time I still can't get her to do anything. Let alone act in a motion picture.

If no one else has recommended it, you should pick up a little book written to honor Terry the Cairn Terrier, "I Toto".

She was actually given up as untrainable by her original humans! She went on to make mucho movies.

Thanks for this subject. I Love it!

+1 recommendation for "I Toto."

[Lei-Quinn]

I recently bought "I Toto" but have not been able to read it yet. For some reason I tear up every time I even look at the book. This is going to make it very hard to read. Hopefully I will overcome my urge to cry and be able to enjoy this lovely book about a lovely dog.

Okay, I'm sold. I wonder if they have it for the Kindle!
