Lennie was compared to a bear and a horse in the book Mice and Men between chapter 2 and chapter 5.
To a bear, a horse, a mouse and a dog. 'Dragging his feet a little, the way a bear drags his paws'. 'Drank with long gulps, snorting into the water like a horse'. 'Slowly, like a terrier who doen't want to bring a ball to its master, Lennie apporached, drew back, approached again'. 'They'll tie ya up with a collar, like a dog'.
Lennie is often compared to a bear in the book "Of Mice and Men" because of his physical strength, clumsiness, and gentle nature. Like a bear, Lennie is powerful and potentially dangerous, but ultimately he is kind and innocent.
In the book, when George and Lennie enter the ranch for the first time George has to cover for Lennie by claiming that he was kicked in the head by horse as a kid. After that though, Lennie asks why he lied. Other than that, Steinbeck never writes the name. You can Google it. :)

By the end of the book, Lennie is shot and dies by the hand of George.
Lennie is laughing because he is imagining he will tend the rabbits on their future farm. In the book, Lennie is alone when he has this vision, which eventually leads to a tragic misunderstanding that ends in tragedy.
Lennie is not aware of the power he possesses, so when Lennie kills his puppy he is not able to understand what he was just done
The two are in a ranch near Soledad, California, for most of the book, but it is only at the end of the book that Lennie kills Curley's wife while trying to stroke her hair.

He fears that whenever he does something bad, that George would leave him, take away his Ketchup and beans, rabbits, and dreams of a ranch. Lennie tries to reassure George by saying he could go and live in a cave, so George wouldn't have to put up with him.
Lennie does. George shoots him while Lennie is looking at the trail head by the pond. Curley's wife does. Lennie breaks her neck. Candy's dog dies. The ranch workers bribe Candy into killing the dog as it is useless. Carlson takes the dog outside and shoots it. Lennie's pup dies. Lennie pets the pup too hard and breaks its neck. Also, lot's of mice are killed in the book. By Lennie, again petting them too hard.
The ranch that George and Lennie dream of owning is called the "American Dream Ranch".
