After George thanks Slim for giving Lennie a puppy and then confides in him about Lennie's challenges and the incident in Weed, they catch Lennie trying to slip into the bunkhouse with his new puppy even though he knows the puppy needs to stay with its mother.

George is probably thinking that having a puppy will keep Lennie out of trouble and that it is better for him to have a puppy than to keep playing with mice.

Slim is probably glad to get rid of two mongrel puppies so easily.

He can give one to Candy to take the place of the old dog Carlson is determined to shoot.
