Brain (Inspector Gadget)
Encyclopedia : B : BR : BRA : Brain (Inspector Gadget)
Brain is a dog on the cartoon show Inspector Gadget. He is the pet of Penny, the Inspector's niece. Brain is unusually intelligent for dog in that he is sometimes anthropomorphic. This may explain his name
Brain often walks upright, and communicates with Penny through a device built into his collar. Brain can communicate with humans using his voice, but has some difficulty with pronunciation, despite this. Aside from speaking in a low gruff voice, he tends to interject most words with the letter "R" similar to the way other cartoon dogs, such as Scooby-Doo and Astro from The Jetsons do. How much the humans in the show understand him is debatable, since he mostly uses pantomime to communicate.
Brain typically follows Gadget on his missions using various disguises. Gadget never recognizes him and more often than not mistakes him for the prime suspect for committing the crime his is supposedly investigating.
He was voiced in the television series by Frank Welker, who debuted voicing Fred in Scooby-Doo. In Gadget, Welker also voiced villain Dr. Claw and his MAD Cat.
It is unknown what has become of him after the series ended and during Gadget and the Gadgetinis and Go-Go-Gadgetinis, though it is possible that he was retired and in a secluded location, now suffering from panic attacks.
