[@lukasprasetya1]

@Boogie's Arcade they didn't tell him? What tf u mean? Let me tell u chronologically. Before Stewie born brian know rupert was belong to chris, which mean brain was already in Griffin household before Stewie born. On another exchange of dialogue Stewie tell brian there is another dog before Brian, which mean on Stewie lifespan he experienced with 2 dog. if u still confused there was another dog before brian which is contradictive with what brian just say a couple dialogue before. If we didn't count for one of them lying which is unlikely for the plot or the jokes, the writer just say feck it roll with it and u got the most inconsistent storytelling ever.
