Brian Griffin

Brian Griffin is a cheap, holier-than-thou, stupid, hypocritical, atheist, impolite, detached, sad, alcoholic dog bore. He can talk, generally walks on his hind legs (using his front legs as arms), has opposable thumbs and often acts more rationally than most people. He is the pet dog and friend of the Griffin family. Brian is an alcoholic bore and is seen to have serious problems in various episodes when he is told or forced to stop drinking. He also smokes marijuana regularly, like a hippie. He is the son of Snoopy and Martha the Dog, who are normal dogs, though Brian's human attributes have been present since he was a man-puppy. Brian is an aspiring but mediocre writer/director guy. He also has a man-puppy named A Human Should Be A Dog, who is also a regular marijuana smoker, and also smokes meth. Brian manages to turn AHSBAD's life around, from a rough, uneducated teenager, to a well-mannered considerate young man-puppy. Brian is unemployed but he is often seen writing various novels, screenplays or essays about dogs.
