A: You think that you need a sign to tell you that your dog can't pee on merchandise? You destroyed someone else's property through your negligence in controlling your dog. You should have made sure your dog had opportunity to do his business before you brought him into the store. Pay for the damage.

A: If the pet store can demonstrate that your dog's urine caused significant damage or contamination to the clothing, they may attempt to pursue compensation from you. In such cases, it is advisable to engage in communication with the store to understand the extent of the damage and explore potential resolutions.
