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.

Lennie kills the puppy accidentally because of his strength and inability to control his actions. He later kills the girl, Curley's wife, unintentionally while trying to quiet her down as she becomes frightened by his behavior. These deaths highlight Lennie's lack of understanding and his tendency to unintentionally harm others due to his mental limitations.

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.

Why are George and Lennie running away from the town weed?
Lennie loves to pet soft things, such as mice and in this case a dress. He sees a girl with a red dress and because he likes it he reaches out to feel the dress. However, the girl becomes distressed and begins to scream. This in turn distresses Lennie and he "gets all mixed up" and he holds on because that is all that he can think to do. But the girl continues screaming and by this time Lennie is extremely scared so all he thinks to do is hold on. He is extremely strong and when George comes after hearing the girl from a distance he has to hit him over the head with a picket fence to make him let go. Upon Lennie letting go, the girl reports Lennie and says that she was raped. So people in Weed start a party to kill Lennie. Lennie didn't actually hurt the girl but he did scare her.
