Family Guy Brian's Coils Iron-On Patch

Brian is depicted as a talking dog who was born in a puppy mill in Austin, Texas and has lived with the Griffin family since Peter picked him up as a stray.

While he exhibits some typical dog behaviors such as eating garbage and licking himself, he also possesses various anthropomorphic qualities, such as the ability to speak quite intelligently and walk bipedally. He also has a particularly sharp wit.

Peter is his best friend, despite Brian's vastly superior intelligence.

Seth MacFarlane has once described Brian as "a dog who has a wit as dry as the martinis he drinks."

Brian is often the voice of reason in the family, often reminding Peter how stupid his plans are.
