He walked heavily, dragging his feet a little, the way a bear drag his paws. Drank with long gulps, snorting into the water like a horse. Lennie dabbled his big paw in the water and wiggled his fingers so the water arose in little splashes. Like a terrier who doesn’t want to bring a ball to its master
