Jasper is Brian Griffin's cousin, a gay dog living in Los Angeles, and a self-declared rice-queen. He works at Club Med as a dance teacher, and let Brian stay in his apartment while Brian was a Hollywood "director." Jasper enjoys club music and often dances. He is known for constantly using camp innuendo. In "E. Peterbus Unum" Peter brought Jasper home to be the family's new dog, much to Brian's surprise. In the opening of "PTV", he and Ricardo make a cameo appearance when Stewie is riding on his big wheel through the gay parade. Jasper and Ricardo attend Brian's funeral in "Life of Brian".
