The new food could have upset Luffy's stomach, leading to the change in behavior. He should only get a puppy formulated food, no human food. I'd continue to keep an eye on him, and if this behavior continues or he develops other signs like vomiting or diarrhea, then I would take him into the vet. Best of luck.
