Sometimes puppies can have accidents. If the poop was normal, you might monitor and see if it happens again. If the stool was soft or abnormal, then Mango could be getting sick and he may need to be examined by the veterinarian. Make sure to stick to the usual routine for Mango (unless it's illness). I hope this helps.
