Toto was taken in by neighbors of ours a long time ago. She was found treading water in small horse trough. Toto knew how to sit up and beg so we assume that she had been abandoned here in the country. She never showed any interest in wandering off and being so little she wouldn't have gotten all that far anyway.

Toto came to live with us in about 1991. Her favorite pastime was begging for treats. In her healthier days she would sit on her hind quarters and hold both front paws in the air. Her 'home' was a small pile of blankets underneath the kitchen table, a small domain but it was all she needed. She led a somewhat solitary life and didn't play with the other dogs. She was an independent little thing with the soul of the biggest and bravest of her kind.
