In document D, Carlson, one of the minor characters, is trying to persuade Candy to kill his own dog. Carlson states that the dog is useless and would kill it so that the dog would not feel anything. "...shoot him right in the back of the head...' He wasn't even shaking'...he pulled out a Luger pistol..." (Doc C). Later, George plays the “bad boy,” as some say, and George does exactly what Carlson does. “George… reached into his side pocket and pulled out Carlson’s Luger… looked at the back of Lennie’s head… the place where the spine and skull joined… Lennie gasped. .. lay without shaking. (Chapter 6)” It shows that George would follow Carlson's actions. However, in the middle of the story, Candy states that he should have shot his own dog ' made him unhappy; George must have realized that he would not allow his partner to be killed before his eyes. This scene is a bad omen and means that George will take full responsibility for Lennie
