- Chow Mein from Gypsy
- Smoky World War II hero Smoky was a Yorkshire Terrier who belonged to William Wynne of Ohio. Mr. Wynne adopted Smoky while serving with the 5th Air Force in the Pacific Theatre. Mr. Wynne trained Smoky to perform various tricks to entertain himself and his comrades. Smoky was later entered in Yank Magazine’s Best Mascot Contest. She won first prize and had her picture on the cover.
- Smoky became a war dog when she used her small size to her advantage and helped to “run†communication wire through a culvert that was under a runway. Without Smoky’s assistance, the runway would need to be excavated while the cable was laid. The runway would have been inoperable for several days. Smoky was deemed the most famous dog of World War Two. She returned home to Ohio with Mr. Wynne where she continued her “entertainment†career.
- Toto from the original book version of L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
- Most recognize Toto as a Cairn
Terrier from the 1939 film version,
and Baum's book did not
specifically state Toto's breed.
However, from the illustrations in
the first book many have concluded
that Toto is a Yorkshire Terrier,
as this breed was very popular at
the time. It should be noted that
Toto was a Boston Terrier in later
books of the Oz series.
