"Curley popped into the door way again and stood looking into the room. The dog raised his head, but when Curley jerked out, the grizzled head sank to the floor again."
I think this quote shows foreshadowing because the way the Steinbeck is talking about the dogs head, I think Lenny might try to 'pet' the dog (or any of the other dogs) and accidentally kill it. The language that Steinbeck is using in this paragraph is very gruesome sounding. Examples: jerked, head sank to the floor. It is very obvious that Candy cares for this dog ( or other dogs )very much because it is described as " Got no teeth, damn near blind, can't eat." He clearly cares for all animals if he is willing to feed a dog milk just to help it survive. I think that if Lenny accidentally kills a dog he will get in a lot of trouble. This is just a guess but the language hinted at something might happen.
