John Steinback used it as a foreshadow of Lennie's death. In the book, Candy says, "I ought to of shot that dog myself, George. I shouldn't ought to of let no stranger shoot my dog." Near the end of the book, that is exactly how George feels about Lennie. George knew that Lennie will be punished because Lennie killed Curley's wife, so George just prefers killing Lennie himself.

What is the difference between candys dogs death and lennies death?

Candy's dog represents the harsh realities of aging and uselessness in the world of "Of Mice and Men," as he is euthanized due to his inability to contribute. In contrast, Lennie’s death is more complex; it symbolizes the tragic consequences of dreams and the inevitability of fate. While both deaths evoke a sense of loss, Candy’s dog is a personal tragedy tied to practicality, whereas Lennie's death is a poignant culmination of friendship, protection, and the cruel world that ultimately crushes dreams.
