In Can You Sing That Song?, Brian, alongside Tracy, was called down by Barney from the audience to give a helping hand. Upon arrival, Barney welcomes the two of them to the game. Brian exclaims he's having fun and questions as to what he would like for both he and Tracy to do. Barney asks them if they could show BJ and Baby Bop the right way to greet a king. Brian explains to BJ that boys do a bow, and demonstrates to BJ on how to do it. Given the help, BJ and Baby Bop allow both Brian and Tracy to move to the next space and take the next turn. Upon moving, Brian exclaims that the next spot was a surprise box. The surprise turns out to be Old King Cole, in which Brian (and the others) bow before him upon entering. After giving a clue upon the song he's thinking about, Brian and the others guess correctly and sing and dance alongside Old King Cole. During the song, Brian becomes a fiddler, trumpeter and drummer (alongside BJ and Tracy). After the song, Brian (and Tracy) run off and wave goodbye to the dinos.
In the episode "Pets", Brian is walking his his border collie, Reilly, in the park. Upon seeing Barney, he mentions that Reilly loves to play with his ball. Eventually BJ and Baby Bop are introduced to Reilly and Brian tells them that they can pet him given that he likes to be petted. Wanting to play with the dinos, Brian explains that he has to go to the dentist and get Reilly home. BJ asks if he could watch Reilly while he's gone, to which Brian makes it okay. Brian makes it known that if Reilly gets hungry, he likes his treats. He eventually tells Reilly that he'll be back later. Eventually Reilly comes back from the dentist and BJ explains what happened during the day. Knowing that Reilly got lost, Brian was simply happy that Reilly was back again. Eventually, BJ and Baby Bop go play with Brian and Reilly.
