    Dog Gone - Family Guy Episode Review

    This is probably one of the best episodes I've ever seen because it deals with the dilemma of animal rights and animal cruelty. The episode it's center around Brian and how he sees that many people on a shallow level doesn't seem to care when he kills another dog by accident and throws the corpse in a ditch; after that Brian embarks on a crusade to promote animal equality but only to find that much of the people he invites to the first meeting of his animal right coalition don't cares about animals at all, that leads Brian to a depressive state where Stewie after committing a crime where leads to think the family that Brian died in a fire they only express how much they miss Brian, making Brian happy one more time.

    There is one truth behind this episode even if it was shown in the most cruel way by exposing some sadistic sequences involving animal cruelty and that's how many people neglect the less wanted from society, maybe it was a little too much the graphic sequences involving animals and how they were killed but at least the message was given. On a side story Lois hires the unnamed housemaid that was shown in Stewie Kills Lois and we learn that her name is Consuela (voiced by Mike Henry) and she is dominant toward the Griffins.

      The dead dog's owner is voiced by Birdy Schaefers. She is not related to show creator/voice star Seth MacFarlane but changed her name as a tribute to the show. She provided the voice as the result of winning a Family Guy contest from MTV to fly to Los Angeles and have a voice cameo on the show. She finally met Seth at the Family Guy studio on August 5th, 2008.

      When Brian and Stewie are on the stairs, Brian expresses anger about the burning of a liquor store and the killing of a dog. But when the rest of the family hears that specific news, he was in Stewie's room and, therefore, didn't hear that information.
    • Quotes

      Brian Griffin: You see, I'd thought I start out locally, then try to merge with one of the larger groups.

      Lois Griffin: Oh that's a great idea, Brian. Maybe you could join PETA.

      Peter Griffin: Join me for what?

      Lois Griffin: No, PETA. The organization.

      Peter Griffin: What organization?

      Lois Griffin: PETA.

      Peter Griffin: What?

      Lois Griffin: PETA is an acrynom, Peter.

      Peter Griffin: No, I'm not. I'm Catholic.

      Stewie Griffin: Are we really doing this?

      Lois Griffin: No, Peter. All I'm saying is, maybe if this meeting goes well, Brian could be part of a PETA rally.

      Peter Griffin: Somebody's having a rally for me now?

      Lois Griffin: No, for PETA.

      Peter Griffin: That's me! I'm Peter!

      Lois Griffin: I'm not talking about you, Peter. I'm talking about PETA!

      Peter Griffin: Somebody better have something to say to me pretty damn soon. Or I'll have something to say to them. I'm very busy!

      Chris Griffin: I think Betty White is in PETA.

      Peter Griffin: THAT DOESN'T EVEN MAKE ANY SENSE!
