Seriously, what happened to the rule of thumb being to kill all dogs in the AO because they can give your position away? Don't get me wrong, I have wonderful pets that I adore, but in a combat arena, the rules are different and Fluffy isn't just Fluffy - it's an animal that can attack, cause diseases and infections, and even distract from the matter at hand which is combat. Irregardless, it's a dog in the AO, and sorry to say, it's not worth a moments concern to anybody, and should never be worth all the bleeding heart comments and liberal attention.
