Move on. Everything dies. Now, say, you accidentally ran over his dog and asked that question? THAT would make you an insensitive prick.

I think you're right. He won't hold a grudge or something. Still could've user a different tone. He was already old an sick. I knew that. A little thinking before opening my mouth would have at least made me use a different tone or wording.

Also, if he brought his dog in that much and everybody liked said dog, it would have been a good idea to share that information in a comfortable way for him to avoid conversations like that. You’re not in the wrong here. That being said maybe if you find yourself in this weird scenario again try “hey it’s been a while since we’ve seen dog, is everything ok?”

You didn't know. He probably knows this as well. You weren't using it in a aggressive way. It'll be fine, he just needs some time

It probably isn't a bad thing, though, that he knows you liked and missed his pupper.

TIFU by forgetting that I ran over my co-workers dog.
