In the story "Of Mice and Men," Candy is devastated and heartbroken when his dog is shot by another ranch worker. Candy had a deep bond with his dog and its death leaves him feeling lonely, vulnerable, and purposeless. This event foreshadows the theme of companionship and loneliness that runs throughout the novella.

Slim Shoots Candy's dog and offers his one of Lulu's pups at the end of section two.

No, actually, Carlson shoots Candy's dog and then Slim offers him one of his puppies. This all hapenned in chapter 3.

He doesn't have a name. He's only referred to as Candy's dog and described as old, crippled.

Similarly, Curley's wife is not named.

This is NOT because they are unimportant characters, but rather because they are both seen as "property" of someone else and not deserving of an identity (in the eyes of the other characters).

Nobody ever refers to them by name.

Curley's wife and Candy's dog both have a profound effect on the stories of George and Lenny - despite their perceived unimportance in the grand scheme of things to the other characters.

candy's dog died when Carlson came to him and told him that the dog was not doing anyone any good so he offered to take him out back and to shoot him, but he declined. a couple minutes later he asked again then Candy agreed. so Carlson took the dog out back and with a pistol, put a bullet into his head.
