Question

What are some similarities between Candy and his dog from Of Mice and Men

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Candy's dog provides his owner with the same kind of friendship and security. Even though the animal cannot respond, as Lennie can to George, it has the same attachment to Candy and gives him the comfort that he at least has something that the other ranch hands lack

Candy always took care of his dog like George takes care of Lennie. He tried to save his dog from being shot like George saved Lennie from drowning

Answer 2

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Although both Candy and his dog are rather minor characters in Of Mice and Men, they help guide the story along and set a mood. Both Candy and his dog are quite old, and somewhat physically disabled (Candy is missing a hand, and his dog is almost blind and deaf). However, they both have shown signs of being loyal and loving, and Candy has a hard time letting go when his dog is shot. Hope this helps!
