Margaret Hamilton was very fond of animals and developed a relationship spending so much time on set with Toto.
She was initially reluctant to do the scenes where Miss Gulch attempted to take Toto away to be put down, and when, as the Wicked Witch of the West, she ordered Toto to be drowned when Dorothy refuses to give her the ruby slippers.
