Dorothy Gale and her pet dog Toto tried to get back home by way of a hot air balloon ride with the Wizard of Oz. The balloon took off without them. And so they sought help from Glinda the Good Witch [of the South in the original book, of the North in the 1939 film version]. Glinda said that Dorothy always had the means to get home on her own person. For the Slippers of the Wicked Witch of the East had secret powers. All their wearer had to do was tap their heels together three times, and say the request out loud. In three strides, and in the wink of an eye for each stride, the wearer would find the request answered.

With the magic of the Wicked Witch's ruby (in some versions it's silver) slippers, she was able to click her heels three times and be magically sent home. The slippers were lost as she was traveling.

Glinda the Good Witch of the West. The Wizard of Oz tries to help Dorothy, with his offer of sharing a hot air balloon ride out of the Land of Oz. But Toto jumps out of the basket, Dorothy runs after her, and the balloon takes off before the two can get back in. Glinda lets Dorothy know that she has had the means to get back home since the day of her arrival in Oz. For Dorothy's house landed on the Wicked Witch of the East, and Dorothy thereby got the Witch's Silver Slippers. Whoever wears the Silver Slippers need only clap the heels together three times and say their request out loud, then it immediately will be granted, in three big long strides. So Dorothy does just that, with the request to get back home to Aunt Em, and she and Toto are back in Kansas.

An explanation that she and Toto are back from the land of Oz and that she is glad to be back home with Aunt Em is the last quote by Dorothy in "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz."Specifically, Dorothy Gale is transported by the power of the silver slippers to the part of the Kansas prairie where Uncle Henry replaces the farmhouse lost in the cyclone that carries Dorothy and her pet dog Toto into Oz. Uncle Henry is milking the cows, and the author gives no indication as to whether he sees Dorothy or hears Toto barking. But Aunt Em comes out to water the cabbages, sees Dorothy and asks as to her whereabouts. Dorothy answers, "From the Land of Oz. And here is Toto, too. And oh, Aunt Em! I'm so glad to be at home again!"
