The Dorothy and Toto statue is a charming addition to Oz Park in Chicago, installed in the spring of 2007. The statue, created by sculptor John Kearney, captures the iconic characters from L. Frank Baum’s “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” (Chicago Park District).

The statue stands as a testament to the enduring appeal of the Wizard of Oz story. It serves as a reminder of Dorothy’s courage and Toto’s loyalty, two of the key themes in the beloved tale. The statue stands on the west side of the park near “Dorothy’s Playlot,” making it a popular spot for photos and a favorite among visitors to the park (Wikipedia).

So, if you ever find yourself in Chicago, make sure to visit the Dorothy and Toto statue. It’s a unique and charming piece of the city’s history that you won’t want to miss.
