I would not be concerned yet. It is not unusual for a dog to not eat his food once or even twice. However if he does not start eating by tomorrow I would have him examined by a veterinarian as he may be ill. Boxers and labradors live around 12 years on average, so I suspect yours could live that long or even longer than that.
