Who is Carlson in 'Of Mice and Men'?

Carlson is a large man, who appears insensitive to the feelings of others. His most notable action occurs when he offers to execute Candy's dog to 'put it out of its misery'. His key motivation for putting Candy's dog down is not to put it out of its misery, as he says, however. He mentions repeatedly that he dislikes the smell of the dog, as it is elderly and gives off a strong scent. Carlson owns a German Luger P08 pistol, which proves to be a key plot element both during the dog's execution, and close to the end of the novel. Carlson stores this Luger in his bag, and seems to care for it, as he cleans it thoroughly after having fired it only once. Also he seems to represent the average man in America
