Brain (dog)

Brain is the dog of Penny and Inspector Gadget. He is voiced by Don Adams in the first film and by Jeff Bennett in the sequel.
==Background==
===Developmental origins===
Brain was created by Andy Heyward, Jean Chalopin, and Bruno Bianchi for DIC Entertainment. The character was added to help expand the cast and because the creators wanted someone who was smart while "Inspector Gadget was not".
Brain was originally voiced by Frank Welker, but has since been voiced by Lee Tockar and Scott McCord.
==Role in the film==
Brain is first seen when he wakes up John Brown from his sleep after dreaming of becoming a police officer. Then he is seen when Penny visits her uncle in the hospital after an accident he had pursuing Sanford Scolex. Brain licks his mouth but Penny tells him not to. Brain is later shown in the Gadgetmobile cruising Riverton with his owners and then taken to the dump after finding out Gadget is there. He goes with Penny to Scolex's (now Dr. Claw) building to find proof her uncle is innocent. While Penny looks for the foot, Brain chases after Dr. Claw, but only manages to pull out his boxers. After Claw is defeated by Gadget and arrested, Brain is seen sitting beside Penny still holding Claw's boxers in his mouth and then goes home with the others, while Claw vows revenge.
==Trivia==
*In the credits, he speaks with the voice of Don Adams, who was also the voice of Inspector Gadget in the TV series. Humorously, the credits list him as "Don Adams as the voice of Brain...really".
*In the original cartoon, Brain was anthropomorphic and capable of running on two legs. He was also more in the field, acting as Penny's eyes and ears in defeating Claw. He also had a bad habit getting caught on Gadget's bad end as he would think he was an agent of Claw. In the follow up cartoon series Gadget & the Gadgetinis, Brain is revealed to have retired and becomes violently stressed whenever the name Gadget is brought up.
