So, you got Zwei, a corgie dog named 2 in German, a direct connection to the Cowboy Bebop Ein, meaning 1 in German. That much is obvious.

2 can also be two, too, and to. To twice is Toto, the name of Dorthy's dog. If a friend is not mistaken, he heard the line, "And your little dog Zwei" which can play out when translated, a pun on the word Two, and a quote from Wizard of Oz.

Now Dorthy's Dog belongs to Ruby (Ruby Slippers?), and Yang (Dorthy being an adventurer getting into places she don't belong such as the world of Oz). So far I'm finding the 3 together being a reference to Dorthy. It'd be amusing if the whole of team RWBY turned out to have underlying Dorthy references.
