What are you going to do with the other $400 shoe?
Sell it for half price on eBay?
who notoriously eat software manuals or original software CD's...
My pooch has done that and more. He's notorious for his hijinks and craazed antics. However, he's always there when you're not, an he knows how to play a solid wingman.

"The dog ate my CD's" is the newer form of this excuse for software packages where there is only a PDF manual.
Both statements have the strong connotation that the poster of the question uses pirated software. Like in "It's on page 7 of the manual - or did your dog eat it?"
Next time Pooch wants walkies, point at your shoeless foot and explain how you would be "delighted to take him out for his evening constitutional, but you seem to be temporarily embarrassed in the footwear department".
By the way usually a dog will chew something with your scent on it because he's pissed off at you. Spend the extra $$ leftover from the cheap hooves on a doggie psychologist. :-)
The family of an old boyfriend years ago had a boxer that used to pee on the sliding glass door of the family room when they went out and left him alone. No, it wasn't because he was inside and couldn't get out to go - he wasn't fussy, he did it from both sides as an expression of his feelings.
Mate the beast and claim some of teh resulting puppy sale money to get another pair... Hmm I can see a problem here.
because he's pissed off at you
Customer's always right.
Do you run an ecommerce site?
My wife used to work at a higher-end clothing chain, to remain unnamed. Guy comes in with a dress he bought for his daughter's prom. The dog ate it. Guy went into a childish fit right there in the store, storming about like a two-year-old, because he wanted a new one and guess what, they gave it to him!
Stuff like this drives me nuts. :-) Well, good for you, I suppose . . . lol
...I said in a brief note - "What on earth is wrong with the shoes you sell." And I said no more. Two days later, a brand new pair, over-nighted on my doorstep. Customer's always right...
That's why you pay $400 for something made out of $10 worth of material.
The more expensive the item and higher the margin, the more likely the company will replace the item (no matter what the real cause of the problem is) than tick off a valued customer.
One of these days, I'm gonna test the theory by getting the fastest processor I can get off AMD, then overclock it until it melts into a puddle, just to see if they'll actually replace it.
