What does Candy represent in Of Mice and Men?

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. Candy stated, "I ought to have shot that dog myself, Goerge. I shouldn't ought to of let no stranger shoot my dog." George uses this quote as advice about what to do with Lennie after he killed Curley's Wife. George stole Carlsons Luger so that he could be the one to shoot Lennie. As Candy said, George didn't want a stranger to get rid of his best friend. He knew he had to do it himself.
