Background
Personality
Brandy prefers to make the most out of any situation and she attempts to improve her own standing by mistreating and abusing the kindness of her friends, though she does care for her friends very much. However, she is always on the lookout for escape opportunities. She has idiotic ideas and is prone to act like a drama queen, and can be more annoying than Whiskers at times. She can be a little of a valley girl. Brandy thinks she is a spaniel with a pedigree, but in the episode "Pedigree, Schmedigree", it is revealed that she is an unspecified mixed breed from a puppy mill.
Physical appearance
Brandy is described as having blonde colored straight dog ears, a darker blonde coat and blue eyes. She also has a little black nose on her short snout.

She sometimes wears a pink and black polka dot bikini. She also sometimes wears a red swimsuit and sometimes a black swimsuit. She also wears what appears to be a collar around her neck with a silver tag on it which almost looks like a whistle.

Into the Amazon Rainforest
Brandy and Mr. Whiskers in the jungle.
She first comes across Whiskers in the first episode of Brandy & Mr. Whiskers, "Mr. Whiskers' First Friend." Whiskers grows very fond of Brandy and comes to like her. When she asks him to "Find her some light", he accidentally opens the cargo room's Emergency Escape Hatch which sends them both out of the aircraft and into the Amazon Rainforest. Brandy desperately wanted to get back home (after Whiskers destroyed the cell phone she got in one of the suitcases which fell out of the aircraft along with them). Then Gaspar Le'Gecko, a very scheming gecko with a French accent, decides to make a deal with Brandy. To give her a map in exchange for Mr. Whiskers (to have him for dinner). Brandy then agrees and decides to use the map to find her way out of the Amazon.
While walking to take the route back home, Brandy goes on a guilt trip and begins seeing faces of Whiskers telling her she would not possibly let Gaspar eat him. Brandy then turns around and goes to rescue Mr Whiskers. Just as Whiskers is in the pot, ready to be cooked reading out recipe instructions, Brandy walks in with Lola Boa (a snake she met while in a tree, when Whiskers chased her away). They both rescue Whiskers. She and Whiskers build themselves a treehouse with bunk beds made from lingerie worn by a hippopotamus.
Relationships
Mr. Whiskers
Best friends.
Mr. Whiskers is Brandy's former enemy, frenemy, friend and eventually best friend. Brandy met him on an aircraft in a cargo room. When she asked him to find her some light, he accidentally opened the Emergency Escape Hatch, which caused them both to end up in the Amazon Rainforest. When Brandy desperately wanted to get home, Whiskers broke the cellphone she found in one of the suitcases. When they both landed up in a tree, they met Lola Boa, and Whiskers, who once had a bad experience with snakes, rudely yelled at Lola, which caused her to cry and slither away. Brandy, exasperated with Whiskers, then made a deal with Gaspar Le Gecko and got a map out of the Amazon Rainforest for Whiskers. While Whiskers was in the pot ready to be cooked, Brandy and Lola came to rescue him. Brandy often describes him like everyone else does, silly, gross, sloppy and overall annoying,
