Director: Hello, welcome to Toby Confidential. We go behind the scenes of the great Toby adventre, we all was suprised when Luna had pups. Ohh was that a spoiler?

We spoke to Dragon Tamer to find out why he decided to proove te vet wrong. This was exactly what Dragon Tamer said about the other Toby series and after we will get the information about what he said about this exact Toby.

Here is what he said:

So, explain to us your story of your success with Toby. I mean how did you make Toby such a big success?

Dragon Tamer: Well, I think the reason the Toby series is such a success is because I made an effort to make each story speak to people in some way. If you look at classic literature closely, you'll notice that it always touches on some key point of the human condition. That's what I try to do with my stories. For example, Toby Part One shows Toby's desire to be a hero, something I think all young people have. I know I did. So I put that into the story, leading in time to the point that everyone can be a hero in one way or another, as shown ultimately in Toby Part Three when he put away his dreams of reckless adventure in order to be a pet to Charlie Winters. In its own right, that one act was more heroic than anything else he ever had done or ever would do. Also, I make my characters real. They all have problems, be they ancestral (as in the case of Luna), physical (Toby, Luna, and Rex), social (as with Toby's ongoing problems with Pete), or even mental (Toby, case in point). I designed my stories and characters to be real, and I wrote them to be true on a very deep level. I try to make something people will have fun while they're reading, and then come away feeling really deeply effected. The stories are fun for the moment and for the long haul, which really makes all the difference.

Another key to my success is having good help. During my time in high school, before the Toby series was even written, my Language Arts teacher took a special interest in me and began encouraging me to develop my writing. She would ask to see stories I had written, which contained the roots of the Toby series even though they were primarily about dragons, and she would tell me in great detail how to take good stories and turn them into great stories. She didn't sugar-coat much; if something stank, she said it straight-out. Then, too, I read the stuff I write to my mom and my brother as a way to see how readers will react and, at the same time, go over it myself to spot mistakes. And last but not least, there are redwolf03's fanfics on this site, which I used as a sort of springboard from which to develop my stories. By giving her permission for this and her advice on various key points, redwolf has really been a big help to me on Balto Source.

Who inspierd you to write the fan fics? I mean we all need someone to inspire us so who ensired you?

Dragon tamer: Well, each story has its own origin, but in some sense they are inspired by practically everything I've ever watched, listened to, or read. From the classics I grew up with like Walt Disney and C.S. Lewis, to a poster in a chiropractor's office (no joke, I'd swear to it in court), virtually everything that's gone into my head has been put into these stories. The main characters, as I said, somewhat evolved from dragon characters in the stories I showed to my teacher. Sometime after I came across Balto Source and became interested in redwolf03's stories, I began to think to myself what would happen if I made my dragons into dogs. As I built off of that, I began to think of other things and eventually found these stories going places where my dragons never would go, or even could go. By taking principle themes to which I've always held a strong commitment, building on those with whatever ideas came out of my twisted mind, and carefully refining the results on every detail, I came out with the stories that so many readers have since enjoyed.

Out of all the Toby characters witch one is most like you?

Dragon Tamer: I know some readers will think this is completely predictable, but I think Toby is the most like me. I would even go so far as to say that Toby is me in canine form. To start off he's an idiot, and I mean that in the most caring way there is. He does stuff that no sane person, not even most lunatics, would do. Biting some guy ten times his size on the tail (even I'm not that crazy) to tangling with grizzly bears when he's barely strong enough to move, Toby has always been a dog of action who uses sheer brainless courage to make up for what his intelligence can't handle.

Tying closely to this, he's got a terminal case of hero worship. When I was a kid, I did stuff I saw done by others. I would run around with a sheet tied around my neck playing Superman, use bedsheets to "parachute" from the top bunk, and once when I was mad at a friend I actually charged him with my head like one of those bone-head dinosaurs. Needless to say, I also spent some time in the hospital, but to this day I often think back on things I've seen and dream about doing them (on a stroll through New York City, I even find myself scanning the skyscrapers and mapping out a route for web-swinging like Spiderman). But as you see, I have essentially taken those points and melded them into the character of Toby, a dog who imagines the impossible, lives for insanity, and always remembers stunts, but not crash helmets.

Lastly, he has very strong faith (I'll try not to get religious here, but it's gotta be said). He believes in what's right, he believes in hope, and that's what always ultimately pulls him through when nothing else can.

Well, that is what he told us about the Toby adventure stories. But here is what he said about Toby 12.

What gave you the idea to make Luna pregnant and proove the vet wrong? I mean because in the recent Interview (Part 1) she couldn't have pups. But she called in and said that she was "Under the weather" and up come the pups. Happy Ending's. So anyway what made you decide to do somthing like that?

Well, I actually intended all along for Toby and Luna to become parents eventually. Making Luna barren (or seemingly so) came to me sometime later. It was inspired, I think, by a story of another couple (very famous) who were physicaly unable to have kids, but they tried anyway and succeeded even though by the time in question their age alone would have normally ruled it out. In other words, Toby and Luna's pups are in a sense a miracle litter (making it no suprise they came along at Christmas). Without Luna's affliction, the event would have been nothing but a predictable development of their story. With Luna's injury, however, it became something much more.

Why did you decide to make Arrow feel un-wanted when Luna was pregnant? I mean it's just like in "All Dogs Go To Heaven 2: Charlie's new adventure." when David's step mother becomes pregnant and he run away.

Well, yes that was from ADGH. Making Arrow feel unwanted was a step to make the story more believable to some of my readers, particularly older siblings or half-siblings. The initial inspiration came from David's misery over his stepmom's imminent baby in All Dogs Go to Heaven 2, but overall I think Arrow's part in the story will speak to many of my readers far more effectively.
