| “ | Peter, you're my best friend. You gave me a home when I didn't have one. And you've treated me like a family member ever since. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you. I'd probably be dead anyway, lying under some freeway overpass. And I wanna return the favor. After all, I'm a dog. I have another eight years, at best. I'm willing to give that up so you can have another forty. | „ |

What Makes Him Inconsistent?[]
- Just like many Family Guy characters, he is very on & off, especially in the newer episodes of where he commits more villainous acts than heroic, with too many questionable actions and Moral Event Horizons such as:
- Giving Chris and Stewie herpes by transmitting blood, doing it remorselessly since he knows he has the disease. (It is also questionable when he caught this disease, so it's possible he's given every woman he's slept with the disease as well.)
- Falling in love with Lois and trying to sleep with her many times in the series, and was nearly about to rape her on a few occasions, including successfully raping her while in Peter's body.
- He is shown to be a complete jerk, such as being very ungrateful to Stewie when his book "Wish it, Want it, Do it!" was published and was shown to be abusing Stewie despite Stewie trying extremely hard to help him. He also joins in abusing Meg, who is basically the punching bag of the entire show.
- He is very egotistical, selfish and pretentious towards many people. He constantly acts very arrogant as he thinks he's smarter and better than anyone else, and constantly blames other people for his mistakes other than himself.
- He is also very lethal, such as shooting an innocent man and then saying "Later, Dink" and murdering several squirrels out of pure sadism, including a baby squirrel that Stewie and Chris nursed back to health.
- He is an sex addict regardless of Dog and Human preference to the point that he's willing to lie, betray, and even harm anyone to get what he wants as shown in multiple episodes.
- He is a massive hypocrite, such as when he constantly calls Peter out on his villainous actions, despite the fact that he is just as guilty.
- He has several wrathful moments in later seasons, such as when he lashed out at Stewie in the episode where he wrote a bestseller, despite everything Stewie did for him as his publicist.
