As Vinny Larsson is a dog purchased by the Griffins at Quahog Pets as a replacement for Brian in "Life of Brian" following Brian's death. He is currently the pet, best friend, and loyal companion of Tord Larsson. In “Simpsons Guy 3: Disney Edd-venture”, it is revealed that him and Tord were responsible for the attempted murder of Brian. Tord adopted Vinny as a puppy after finding him on the road as he ran away from his owner due to his unfair rules. This was revealed in "Road to the Omniverse".
Personality
Like Tord and his family, Vinny is shown to be evil. He would always accompany Tord in his shenanigans. An example of this would be that he tried to run over Brian with Tord. If they succeeded, he would pretend to be the new Brian until he gained the Griffins’ trust, and once he did, he would murder the remaining Griffins with help from the Larssons. Despite his evil antics, he genuinely cares about Olivia. Ever since he joined the band “Red Shirt, Blue Shirt”, he would often go with Olivia to perform. Olivia’s mother, Daisy, does not approve of this, so she frequently assaults Vinny whenever he went near her daughter.
