If I recall the events correctly, Steinbeck, unlike some modern writers like Ernest K. Gann, does not use the back-to-front perspective in writing novels. the plot unfolds from begining to end. The animal dies towards the end of the story. I was not aware of Steinbeck using the Back-to-Front perspective- which has been used by many biographers, they start with the death or funeral of the subject ( for example Jayne Mansfield by May Mann, or Aimee Semple Mcpherson in Least of All Saints, and then reconstruct the life of the person they are writing about. Gann used flashbacks as an unusual suspense device in part based on aircraft accident investigation ( fate is the Hunter) where, of necessity, detectives work backwards. Steinbeck did not use this method.
