Answer:

Explicanda sympathizes with his old dog because he is in a similar situation. Candy understands that he is also past his prime and can be disposed of at any time. His reluctance to end his dog's life parallels his fate. Candy does not want to be let go, in the same way that he does not want to shoot his dog. nation:
