What is Toto: The Wizard of Oz as told by the dog about?

When a powerful twister lifts Dorothy and her dog Toto from their Kansas home, they land in the mysterious land of Oz. Along the yellow brick road, they meet a Scarecrow who longs for brains, a Tin Man searching for a heart and a Lion who doubts his courage. As Toto tells the story from his own point of view, the friends face danger, discover surprising truths about the Wizard and learn that they may already possess what they seek.
