I love the dynamic and the stories that Brian and stewie have, It's always so real and relatable to the struggles and loses that we encounter in our daily lives, and this episode was no different. Also it was a really nice and subtle tribute to Paul Walker which brought tears to my eyes and actually pushed me to write this review.

This review will contain spoilers. So if you don't wanna be spoiled, don't read this yet until you watch the episode yourself.

In this episode, Brian in a drunken rage tears up Stewie's teddy bear Rupert. So Stewie goes to Vermont to spread Rupert's ashes. While Stewie is unable to forgive Brian for tearing up his best friend, it's very dramatic and sad that Stewie doesn't have his bear with him anymore.

After they reach to the top of a mountain, Brian and Stewie begin to spread Rupert's ashes and it's very sad to watch. And Stewie says Brian doesn't have many years to live which is true because Dogs can die at least 10 years. Then Brian buys Stewie another bear which looks exactly like Rupert and it ends with Stewie smiling and Rupert up into the sky.

See this is how Family Guy should do dramatic episodes unlike other times where they failed. Also the side plot is good too. Peter shakes hands with the Boo Berry mascot and never washes that hand again. Then the hand starts getting more dirty and instead of trying to make it disgusting looking, they make it funny by having it look like a field of grass.

In my opinion, Dog Bites Bear is a Modern Family Guy episode that people need to watch if you wanna watch heartwarming content.

Oh yes. Dog Bites Bear.

This episode... Is amazing. I can't show all my love I got for this episode but its surprising they got Brian and Stewie's character right. But the follow up episode really ruined Stewie but we don't talk about that.

This episode reminds me of "Road To Rupert" but I think it's INSANELY better. Brian doesn't feel forced AT ALL and knowing why Stewie cares for a stuffed toy it's depressing. He knows Brian will die soon and Rupert will stay with him forever.

Plot B was great too, amazing balance to a sad plot, just like Brian Wallows and Peter's Slallows.

Overall it's an Amazing Episode 10/10.

Well, I can't say I ever expected Seth MacFarlane to make me cry over a dead teddy bear, but here we are. I'm honestly surprised this episode isn't rated higher. I can't think of many Family Guy episodes I've seen that are better than this. This was a very unexpected but, in my opinion, very well executed episode. This is at least in my top 10 Family Guy episodes of all time, and definitely in my top 5 for the episodes from the middle seasons. This kind of tearjerker episode wouldn't usually fit into a show like Family Guy, but they still managed to pull it off. It's the perfect combination of lighthearted comedy and sentimental plot points.

When you give Stewie and Brian a lot of scenes together you are going to get something good, but this was not as strong as some of those "Road To" or long journey episodes between the friends.

We're missing those cutaways that Family Guy is famous for as well.
