Dog urine under carpet left dark stain on hardwood floor

When I lifted an area rug I noticed that my dog had urinated on the carpet and it put a nice black stain on the hardwood floor. I have had luck getting black stain out of antique furniture with bleach ⇦ in bulk on eBay or Amazon [affil link] and dawn dish liquid...but that was because I already stripped the outer finish of the piece allowing the bleach to set into the wood. Any ideas on how to get the stain out without having to strip the floor? Is there an easier fix? Thanks.
