Brian

Brian may be described as the Griffin family's talking dog, but he is more accurately described as a dog who chooses to live with the Griffin family. While he exhibits some typical dog behaviors like eating garbage, licking himself, leaving dead birds on the porch, intensely fearing the vacuum cleaner and the dog whistle, and sleeping at the foot of Peter Griffin's bed, he also possesses various anthropomorphic qualities, such as the ability to speak intelligently, drive a car, and walk bipedally. He also has a particularly sharp wit. Peter is his best friend, despite Brian's vastly superior intelligence.

As the most sensible member of the Griffin family, Brian often serves as the voice of reason or as a mediator during family arguments. He is also usually the first (and often only) one to realize that there is impending danger.

Because of his intelligence and dry, deadpan manner, Brian sometimes acts as the "straight man" of the show.
