Below left: One is a movie dog, one is a famous Italian comedian, and one is sleepy.[/caption]
His owners named this beautiful pure-bred British Labrador Toto, which should be properly spelled Totò, because he is not named after Dorothy's dog in The Wizard of Oz, but for the Italian comedian Antonio De Curtis (1898-1967), nicknamed il principe della risata ("the prince of laughter"), but best known by his stage name Totò.
Totò is now over two-years old, I think, but the picture above was likely taken by his owner when he was less than one-year-old. The picture was on the SD card of a Canon G10 digital camera the owner has gifted to me (but not the battery charger). I'll try to get a current snap of Totò before the charge runs out -- he's growing up to be a beautiful, well-tempered dog, I think he's a tad lazy, but I'm not one to talk.
