This shows the friendship between Candy and his dog, because he wanted to shoot him to stop the dogs pain and misery not because of his smell and how old he was, which is why Carlson shot him.
Displays the powerful effect of friendship between a human and an animal.
“I ought to of shot that dog myself, George. I shouldn't ought to of let no stranger shoot my dog”
Later on, a similar event happens when George shoots Lennie so that Curley doesn’t. I think that Candy and his dog represent the friendship of George and Lennie, so this regret of not shooting his dog is repeated later on with George shooting Lennie. Lennie represents the dog because he is vulnerable and weak.
