If a bitch (referring to a female dog, of course) has too many puppies she is unable to feed all of them, only the biggest puppies are likely to survive and the smaller weaker puppies will starve to death, drowning a few of the puppies is more humane than allowing them to starve to death slowly.
The respectable man with the pups
The supposed reason is because Slim's dog, Lulu could'nt possibly feed all of the pups, so Slim decided to drown the smallest of the pups, keeping the big healthiest ones to live. This action shows symbolism of one of Steinbeck's reoccuring themes, which is basically states that there is no room or tolerance for the weak and useless, especially in an environment of unlimited resources. This theme is somewhat of a cruel reality to the main characters, realizing that the ranch doesn't consider the welfare of its weaker members, but it also stands as one in which those who hold power wield it irresponsibly.
A message will pop up:Your pup is drowning! Get out of the creek!If you fail to pay attention to the message, your pup will inevitably drown.
In WolfQuest you have four pups. This is a set number and is unchangeable.
just four on wolf quest.
No, you can only have four pups on WolfQuest.
if he can have one of Slim's dog's newborn pups
Yes, they are mammals. They have a backbone, breathe air, nurse the young, and the pups are born alive. They also have hair and can drown if not allowed to get air.
Slim.
he said he would drown it because there were to many for the bitch (female dog) to handle.
Four to six pups
Two to four pups, with 3 being the average. The absolute largest I have seen has been seven with no deaths.
