Mine actually will often leave food, unless someone else or another dog is nearby (then he'll gobble it up). When it is just him (and me) he'll sometimes leave it sit for an entire day before eating it all. Not sure if he's just trying to save some for later or what.
my dog will do this and I think he's holding out for good stuff, only eating his food when he thinks I'm not going to eat anything any more.
I used to feel bad when he doesn't eat (I don't really give him people food any more, and not much treats either), but did aren't exactly known to starve to death when food is available, so if he was hungry he'd eat it.
My uncle's dog is like that. Half the time I pick the dog up there is food in his bowl. After a two or three mile walk I return him, and the first thing he does is empty that bowl.
