Saxon Genitive

What do we do when we have two names and we want to apply the saxon genitive to both individuals:

E.g. Pepe's and Maria's dog

Shall we place the ' after both names or not?
  

Top answer

Just after the second name, if the animal belongs to both of them. If there are different dogs, owned separately, use the two 's forms.
