Foreshadowing about Candy's dog

"That dog of Candy's is so God damn old he can hardly walk. Stinks like hell too...Got no teeth, damn near blind, can't eat. Candy feeds him milk. He can't chew nothing else." (36)

     This is how Steinbeck describes Candy's dog.  It says that he cannot eat, and that Candy has to feed him milk.  Which, can sometimes cause pancreas cancer, or severe side effects, such as vomiting or diarrhea.  By the description of Candy's old dog, he kind of reminds me of my old dog.  Her name was Sophie, but we had to put down when I was in 2nd grade because she had really bad arthritis and hardly moved during the day.  

     In the end of section 2, it says specific phrases that foreshadow what will happen in the future.  It says "Why'n't you get Candy to shoot his old dog and give him one of the pups to raise up?" (36).  This is foreshadowing that the men will try to convince Candy to kill his dog, instead of waiting for him to die by himself.
