Answer 1

In "Of Mice and Men," Lennie has not developed mentally beyond the age of a young child, so concepts like death and hurting someone much smaller than him doesn't register. He believes the puppy will magically come back to life, or he can't understand the concept of death at all. At any rate, he continues to care for the dead puppy, even though it's no longer responding. He doesn't mean harm, but his size and lack of self control, makes him dangerous.

Answer 2

Lennie's treatment of his dead puppy showcases his innocence and tendency to act impulsively without understanding the consequences of his actions.
