He didn't try to kill them, but when he killed the puppy it was because it "looked like it was going to bite him, so he smacked it" He killed Curley's wife because he was petting her hair and she freaked out, so he shook her, breaking her neck in the process.

He doesn't care much about the puppy, more about how angry George is going to be when he finds out. He flings the puppy across the room, showing very little care for it.

Why does Lennie throw away the pup?

The puppy dies from being mishandled by Lennie; in the same way that Lennie kills the mice and the girl.(On the above) Lennie doesn't kill the girl, just mistakes her dress as a furry animal because he has a mental disability. The girl looks at this for rape, but before Lennie can be tried for sexual misconduct, him a nd George run away from the town of Weed into the countryside.


Who gives Lennie a puppy in of mice and men?

Why did slim tell Lennie to stop stroking the puppies?

They were too small to be away from their mother for too long. Also, Lennie doesn't know his own strength so he could easily kill a puppy without meaning to (which is what he ends up doing later in the novel).


Why did George and Lennie leave the last place where they at?

Lennie saw a girl in a red dress. He touched it, she panicked and Lennie would not let go. The girl was scared and told people that she had been raped by Lennie, even though this was a lie. Lennie and George had to run away.


How Lennie managed to accidentally kill the puppy?

How many dogs does Lennie kill in of mice and men?

Lennie only kills one puppy-the puppy that he received from Slim. He killed the puppy because, "I was jus' playin' with him...an' he made like he's gonna bite me...an' I made like I was gonna smack him...an'...an' I done it. An' then he was dead." (Steinbeck 87) Remember all those mice that Lennie killed in the past? It was the same thing here. The mice (or the puppy in this case) acted mean, if you will, so Lennie played back, but he didn't know is own strength. He also kills Curley's wife in the same way. She made him angry, and he was just trying to make her be quiet. (He shook her until her neck broke.) Lennie only killed 1 puppy; his own, which makes it all the more sad.
