Think of some activities Sassy likes, and do them. It helps to do them on a schedule, so he can learn to count on that. Don't get him too tired. Just happy times.

Dogs learn to adapt, but loss of a family member can be tough on them like it is on us. If it's possible could you bring this pup to a visitation? It may help. Otherwise, just support the dog and try to understand he misses his family too. I'm sorry for your loss.
