Because the dog smells, is old, has no teeth, has rheumatism.
Carlson explains to Candy that the dog is no good to him and no
good to himself. Slim gives a silent approval even though he
understands its difficult for Candy to let go of his dog. It is
because of Slims approval that Candy (very distraught by this time)
allows Carlson to shoot his dog. Candy later relates to George that
he wish he had shot his own dog as he didn't feel right about
letting a stranger shoot his dog.
