ask Stewie

Answer 11

because he is supposed to be funny and stuff. i honestly dont know why but you have to admit he is funny

Answer 12

What do you mean?  Can't all dogs talk?  :)

Answer 13

Brian is a big part of Seth McFarlane's vision for the show. Family Guy wouldn't be nearly as good if he just barked and sat around the house all day like a regular dog. His intelligence and insight help balance out Peter's crudeness and naivety. Plus, his scenes and dialog with Stewie make for some of the best parts of the show in my opinion.

Answer 14

Because it's a cartoon!  Brian is awesome! LOL

Yes they did when Brian went back to try to visit him mom at the puppy farm.  Yes everyone can hear him.

Answer 15

'Cause it's a freakin' awesome show that's why!  Wish I had a talking dog . . .  

Answer 16

Yes everyone can hear him, he was a homeless dog that Peter rescued from living on the streets.---On the other hand, Brian is actually the consistant, normal character in the show. He is a voice of reason and has his life in order. Most shows like Family Guy need a grounding character. For the Simpsons it's Marge, For Futurama it was Leela and for American Dad....well, see, that is the problem with American Dad--same creator but not as good as the original.

Answer 17

Umm because a talking dog cant be in reality life,soooo they made a talking dog on cartoon "Family Guy"The funniest cartoon i ever watched.

Answer 18

why not?  

Answer 19

Because it adds to the show. Gives them another character to use. And why not, no one ever gets older, or chances, what the heck, why not a talking dog?

Answer 20

all the characters need to be weigh by their personalities and it adds more humor...like the simpsons how marge and lisa are, its kind of hard to explain..

Answer 21

yes they can all hear brian and understand him, its stewie they cant always hear and understand

Answer 22

idk ask the homicidal infant
