Candy Appearance and Personality

Candy, or the old swamper with a thin, elderly, and kind of run down appearance, is the person who George and Lennie first talk to when they get to camp. He is missing one of his hands because it got caught in a cotton gin when he was young. Candy seems like a very nice person, who tries to help mostly everyone, in anyway he can. His constant companion is an old sheep dog.  At his heart, Candy is a kind and loyal friend.
