There is speculation that Barry Manilow's song "Mandy" is about a dog..
As it turns out, that is just an urban legend.
Here (according to Wikipedia) is the true story:
The suggestion that Scott English wrote the song about a favorite dog is apparently an urban legend. English has said that a reporter called him early one morning asking who "Brandy" was, and an irritated English made up the "dog" story to get the reporter off his back.The line "you kissed me and stopped me from shaking" that appears in the lyrics has led some to believe that the song refers literally to brandy, specifically alcoholism and the DT's of alcohol withdrawal.
