Is it okay to leave my puppy alone for 8 hours during the day?

Question

My whole family and me are going somewhere for 8 hours next week. Do my puppy can stay alone for 8 hours? Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Male | unneutered | 2 months and 17 days old

No, Oscar is too young to be left alone for eight hours. He will not be able to hold his bladder long enough for this. He will need someone to come by every two to three hours to let him outside to potty.
