if your dog is cute enough.. take it with you to the apple store and show them the culprit. i bet they'll get suckered into at least giving you a discount

Or you could walk in with it in your teeth and they'll think you're crazy. Tell them you got hungry and you need another adapter and wondered if they'd give you a discount.
There are things that warrant a free replacement here and there, but I'd say you're $100 down. 🙁
If you're comfortable asking or implying that you are interested in a free replacement, you could always walk into the Apple store and attempt to get a free replacement. If you want to save money, there's always Craigslist/ebay.
I guess it's a good thing your dog didn't barbecue itself on the electrical cord 😀
I've just realized that no matter how much work I have to do, I will make time to read any thread titled "Dog Attack".
x2.
That, and yes, sometimes Geniuses will do out-of-warranty replacements (which this would be) for free. But it's hit or miss ... mostly miss .. so I'm not sure I'd get too excited about that option.

Well, I returned to the Apple Store last night. I showed them the damaged cord. I explained to them what happened. I even tried to trick them into thinking that the cord was responsible for the attack since my dog had no interest in my previous iBook power adapter. They weren't buying it. And I had to shell out $85.00 (with tax) for a replacement. Such a sad story that I'm sharing with all of you, my loyal readers. Please share this lesson with your friends so that they don't have to deal with the suffering that I had to experience.
LOL, what suffering? You have a poorly disciplined dog and he ate your adaptor. What were you expecting?
I wouldn't exactly call any puppy poorly disciplined...that's like calling a three-year old poorly disciplined if they draw on a wall with a crayon.
While it is not suffering, neither is it poor discipline. That's what puppies do, especially if they are teething.

Let the pup carry it into the store then plonk him/her on the genius bar and wait for a reaction.
You should take some precautions to prevent it happening again.

The OP was just kidding, but I feel his pain: when my now 9 year old dog was a pup, he made a chew toy out of my mobile phone. 🙂
