I see two sides to to Carlson; the practical, down to earth person and the up front, in your face, I'm always right kind of person. Personally I don't like Carlson. I wouldn't get along with him very well. When he talks about how they should shoot Candy's dog because he has no use, that is very rude and unnecessary for him to say. He does say to give Candy one of the new born pups as a replacement, but really that is non of Carlson's business and he has no need to say that. Mind you, he is his own person and that's how he acts. I wouldn't want to be friends with him though!
