Steinbeck uses foreshadowing to hint at and eventually show how dangerous Lenny really was to others and himself, leading to what George had to do in the end which was also foreshadowed in multiple scenarios involving animals (mostly dogs).

For example Slim states ¨She slang her pups last night,¨ said Slim. ¨Nine of ´em. I drown four of ´em right off. She couldn't feed that many.¨ This shows how Slim had to kill the weel puppies so that the others would be able to eat and do better growing up.
