My favourite part of the local Roman Britain musuem I visited for my birthday was a ~2000 year old tile ruined by a dog. You can even see a rock lodged in as if the workers tried to scare it off.

The best part is that this isn't a rare find. They had a whole wall of tiles ruined by pets. Imagine how many there were for us to find so many ~2000 years later...
