Bummer...as said, it depends on how long the roots were exposed.
I have been fortunate as my two 100 pound labs have been very well behaved re. the trees, only knocking a bench over on two occasions! Once the black lab puppy had a cone on his head after surgery and didn't realize he was much larger than life!

When something similar happens to me, I will set the pot into a tray of water for a while (couple of hours) to make sure it is as rehydrated as it is going to be before placing it in a protected location.
