receives an invitation to an award ceremony celebrating his novel,
Faster Than the Speed of Love, by the Rhode Island Society for Special
Literary Excellence. Convinced he is a great writer, Brian attempts to
gain the family's interest but fails to do so. Once he arrives at the
"award ceremony" however, he discovers that he has misunderstood the
meaning of the word "special", prompting him to drown his sorrows at
the local bar and realize that he is not a writer, but a joke. He
drives home drunk that night and accidentally runs over and kills a
dog. He secretly buries the dead dog's body outside the Griffins' home
and tries to keep quiet about it. Stewie, having witnessed his deed,
begins to toy with Brian's guilt, eventually driving him to a state
where he decides to confess to "murder". However, when he confesses to
Joe and the Griffin family, they all laugh, saying that no one cares
if a dog or any other animal is killed, especially by another
animal.Outraged, Brian starts a support group, and decides to call it
"The Quahog Animal Equal Rights League", to convince the town that the
lives of animals should be of equal value to humans'. As the town
citizens learn more about it, however, none of them are keen on
changing their lifestyles if it means no processed meats and medical
research on animals, and even become interested in how dogs taste
after Brian mentions they are eaten in some cultures. Refusing to
listen any further, they chase after Brian in an attempt to eat him. Dog Gone Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
