I remember I had a brand new white dress with dots of blue and red throughout. I hung it on the door because I was planning to wear it to a mother-daughter tea my classroom was having (I was the teacher) the next day. When I went to get it there was a triangle about 6-8 inches big out of the bottom of the back of it. Our dog was a Samoyed/Shephard and White Collie mix. Several days later I found the missing piece mixed in with his poop in the back yard. No, I didn't sew it back in. I cut the dress hem evenly and added a solid navy blue border on the bottom so the dress was at least useful.
