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.
