Candy's Ancient Dog

As we learned in part two, Carlson decides to kill Candy's ancient dog (obviously with his permission.) I believe that this situation was actually ironic. To me, it was ironic that Candy succumbed to the pressure put on him by Carlson about killing the dog. This was ironic because we learn from part 2 and part 3 that Candy raised this dog ever since he was a pup. You would think that there close relationship would lead to Candy raising this dog to death. However, Candy allows Carlson to kill his dog. Overall, I believe that the fact that Carlson killed Candy's dog with Candy's permission was ironic because of the fact that Candy raised him since he was a pup.
