Sometimes we make mistakes and then we feel bad that we don't live up to our own expectancies. Frustration and stress are the result and we are miserable.
It happens that you get a dog and find out that it is not a match made in heaven. We had to rehome one of our rescues b/c it just didn't work out.
IMO it might be better for you and for him if you could find a new home for your baby or surrender him to a rescue organisation (is there something like that in Japan?) I'll pray for you that you find a satisfying solution!
