He senses the harshness and brutality of the world around him looking directly at the consequences anyone that fails to adapt could suffer, in the figure of Curly, a good natured and harmless dog who is being crushed by his inability to overcome these conditions.
This tale is a pefect parallel with Darwin's theories, which propose that each species evolves in a way that enables them to overcome the obstacles presented by their environment in order to survive.
