Candy

Candy is the oldest farm hand on the farm. He had a really old dog which everyone complained about. Candy then agreed to have Carlson shoot the dog to take it out of its misery. Candy then regretted about letting Carlson do it, as he thought he should have shot the dog himself.

Candy lost his hand in an accident and isn't very useful on the farm. When he hears about Lennie and George's dream farm he decides he wants in and asks George if he can help on the farm George says he is going to have. Candy already has about half of the money that is needed to buy their dream farm. Candy still asks George if they will get their farm even after he knows George has to kill Lennie.
