After sobering up , Stewie asks Brian why he has a gun , noting that Brian is a staunch gun control proponent and seems to be the last person who would ever own a firearm , even mentioning how Brian cried after the Columbine shooting . Brian refuses to talk about it at first , but eventually admits that he has the gun in case he ever wants to commit suicide . He confesses that due to his anthropomorphism , he can not find his purpose in life like other dogs , and finds comfort in knowing he has the option of killing himself . He admits that the scotch was to be a last drink . Stewie says that he would be lost without Brian , claiming he is the only person in the world that he really cares about ; he finally tells Brian he loves him , and Brian tells Stewie he loves him back . Stewie adds that maybe making someone else happy is enough , because it is the best gift one person can give . Stewie falls asleep as Brian reads the beginning of '' David Copperfield '' to him . The following morning , the vault door opens , and Brian carries a sleeping Stewie and their belongings out of the room in silence
