Brian the Dog is back from the dead, with Family Guy returning the beloved character to his rightful place. And it was all thanks to Stewie.

A few weeks back Family Guy shocked fans by killing off one of the main characters. Brian may only be a dog, and an animated one at that, but his death was still sad.

Thankfully his death was never intended to be permanent, with Stewie finding a way of travelling back through time and saving Brian from being run over and killed.

All is right in the world of Family Guy once more. Now perhaps they can kill off Meg, and for good this time.
