If pets are a thing it would be great if they could move smaller loot and materials for you on to a place you have told them to set it on the boat. They could move items that only require one hand to hold like skulls, relics, maby even materials like bananas. Just to speed the process of looting up. If an enemy's pet has loot you could simply just snatch it from it or possibly even kill it and the pet could have a cool down to respawn.
Pets that are somewhat useful
Everything is cosmetic in this game and I cannot see that changing especially with paid content. People would see the game as pay to win. You may not feel it would make much difference, however, the time saved could mean the difference between a confrontation happening, especially when it comes to public events.
@warmedxmints Well, if there would be at least 1 either free pet or pet that you can buy with gold, which has the exact same use and stats as microtransaction pets, this wouldn't be a problem, right?
There's a bit of an indication in this article, of what Joe at least has in mind for pets -
Pets will be our first feature that will allow players to spend additional money. We'll treat it in the right way, and I want to be able to fire pets out of cannons. I'll fight tooth and nail with our design team to get it done. A cat will always land on its feet, of course, because it's a cat … it's just a bit of fun and silliness.
If you bought a pet, other people should be able to mess around and use it and experience the joy of it – it should add to the fun social silliness of the game – it's not necessary and won't bring a mechanical benefit.

@warmedxmints @KattTruewalker To be honest I expected pets to be included in one of the next big updates for free. Seeing as the game is still very incomplete and, there is much coming in our future.

no, never , no. I don't want to be able to hurt any pets in this game and that will be a griefer paradise. If someone hurts my cat? I'll spend the rest of the session spawn killing you until you rage quit lol.
@hardybear99
If you do this, the game becomes pay to win. Rare has said they won't put real money, game play improving microtransactions because it will imbalance the player base.@chief-beef-dsp
