what are quotes of candy and his dogs relationship?

From the text:

“Yeah. I had ‘im ever since he was a pup. God, he was a good sheepdog when he was younger.”

He reached over and patted the ancient dog, and he apologized, “I been around him so much I never notice how he stinks.”

The old man squirmed uncomfortably. “Well—hell! I had him so long. Had him since he was a pup. I herded sheep with him.” He said proudly, “You wouldn’t think it to look at him now, but he was the best damn sheep dog I ever seen.”
