The story behind the Wizard of Oz pup, Missy

St Paul's Collegiate School —

Missy (or Toto as we've recently known her) is a Shihtzu x Lhasa Apso breed and is the family pet of the Joyce family. Next month she will be turning 10 years old. Missy was given to the family when her original owners living circumstances changed when she was around one year old. 

Missy loved being with the cast recently in the Wizard of Oz. She put it all on the line and did all six shows without double casting! Missy leapt out of the car on arriving at the school for those long rehearsals and performances, so we think she enjoyed her time in the show and loved all the attention she got from the cast, band members, and the audience.
