The Dog destroyed my airpod, can I ask the owner to pay?

I went outside for a few hours and the dog bit my airpod. I put her inside the gate inside my house to not let her go out but she just pushed it and went outside the gate. My airpod was hidden in my bed but she found it and chewed it. However, I sent the picture to the owner today before I leave the house that I will leave her inside the gate inside my house. And before the boarding starts, I told the owner that I will use gate inside the house too. And he didn't mention anything that it will not work or something. He said he could bring the crate but I said I have a gate and he said it will be fine then. But whenever I told him about what happened, he said he thought I put the dog at balcony! But I wouldn't just want to put the dog at the balcony because if could be dangerous.

In this kind of case, can I ask the owner to pay for my airpod?
