Stella first appeared in the episode (Season 10, Episode 11), where she was hired to replace the rambunctious and unintelligible Opie . Despite her deafness, Stella is portrayed as highly competent; she is a skilled lip-reader and uses American Sign Language (ASL) to communicate.
Stella is actually the family dog in Family Guy, a brown, anthropomorphic canine who is a loyal member of the Griffin family. She's often depicted as dim-witted but lovable.
Recurring Background / Supporting First Appearance: "Blind Ambition" (Season 4, Episode 3) Best Known For: Being the only employee at the Pawtucket Brewery and dating Opie.
In the chaotic, cutaway-heavy universe of Family Guy , characters often fluctuate in personality and intelligence based on the needs of a gag. However, Stella remains a fascinating anomaly: a character defined by a physical limitation that the show almost never mocks maliciously. She is, arguably, the most consistently funny and charming background character in the show's modern era.
