Are you freakin' kidding me? Are you serious? Ask your brother wtf he did to the dog, don't let him near the dog anymore, and don't cater to the dog's new moodiness- treat the dog the way you always did- the dog will forget what your brother did or didn't do- if you start treating him differently he will act differently- vicious cycle.

the dog needs interaction with people to trust them again.. obviously whatever your brother made him now not trust people. try just taking him for walks not walking him up to people, but getting him used to strangers around him. this is going to be a long process but slowing start introducing him to people and go from there..
