Candy's Dog

As I reread the last two pages of part 2 (page 36-37), I noticed that there was some foreshadowing about Candy's dog. "After a moment the ancient dog walked lamely in through the open door. He gazed about with mild, half-blind eyes. He sniffed, and then lay down and put his head between his paws"(page 37). I thinks this means that later on in the book Candy's dogs is going to die. I think that Candy's dog is going to die because in the book it said that the dog is ancient and that he is half blind. This shows that Candy's dog does not have much time left. The book also says that he is very smelly and he can barely walk. I think that this shows foreshadowing of Candy's dogs death because these are all signs of a dog's dying.

Candy's dogs can barely do the things he needs to survive. "Got no teeth, .... near blind, can't eat. Candy feeds him milk. He can't chew nothing else"(page 36). I think that this foreshadows Candy's dog becoming ill also, and then he will have to be put down. I think this because all he drinks is milk, so he does not get enough nutrients from other foods for him to get stronger. Then he will become so weak that he won't be able to survive even with help from other people and doctors.
