First off, I understand "leave him behind" has very negative connotations, but some background is in order. I simply want what's in his best interests, not mine, and in this case it's unclear to me. I recently moved to Europe and, although my apartment is large, it's in a rather urban environment, which is quite different from where the dog was living with me in the US (I lived in a heavily wooded area, several acres of property, and zero traffic). He's a happy-go-lucky, young black lab, and is currently staying at my father's large farm in the US. My father has another dog, several cats, horses, ponds, and all the other trappings of that type of life. But here's the catch. Although the environment is better there for him than it would be here, and my father is very good to his animals, he keeps his dogs outside in a kennel and so the dog does not get as much special attention as he would from me. That said, he seems happy there, but of course he always seems happy! Thoughts, advice?
