He may have his own worries at the moment, but what kind of person would he be if he didn't take the time to help with such a simple request. Simon takes the leash and collar before he crouches to the dog's level. It does seem to be a typical sort of dog for the area, which makes him suspect he can guess what's the matter after all.
"This must be very confusing for you," he tells the dog, offering it his hand to sniff, leash held loose to the side, "Everything is different, and you don't know why. I'd be frightened too."
The words aren't really important, but the tone is. That's the trick with children and animals. It seems to be working, so Simon ventures giving the poor creature a soft stroke on the head.
"What's their name?" He asks the tall, betentacled individual, forgetting that it should be as easy as checking the dog's collar.
