Candy suggests to George that he should have shot his dog on page 47 of John Steinbeck's novel "Of Mice and Men." Candy makes this comment after hearing George and Lennie talk about their dream of owning a piece of land, realizing that the dog's suffering could have been avoided if it had been swiftly put out of its misery.

He represents Candy. The dog was old and useless as Candy will soon become. Candy's dog also represents a symbol for what happened to Lennie.
