Again, the airline DOES HAVE CONTROL. They can separate the animal. They can put the owner's bags next to the animal. They can put the animal in a crate with solid walls and breathing space on top so they only pee on themselves. Many options. Children do not have pee all over other people's luggage. They have do so in a diaper or the toilet. And children are people, humans. Much more important than a dog.
It wasn't about compensation, although an entire day of ruined vacation is definitely worth a lot, and would be to you as well if it happened to you. Its about getting the airline to fix the problem so it doesn't happen again to anyone. Its about fighting for the rights of non-dog owners who have to listen to neighbor dogs barking without a fix, put up with disrespecful dog owners everywhere, and now apparently put up with other people's dogs peeing on their luggage (paid for in addition to a ticket).
