So, what happens to pets when a char is GM deleted because they don't like the name? I can imagine that a char with a pet named poledancer could have a name that would offend some folks.
Could be a stuck pet too. Years ago, I had a horse fall into a hidden hole near the south gate of the Brit graveyard. It couldn't get out when i called it, I couldn't mount and ride it out and a GM (shows how long ago it was) couldn't dislodge it. They eventually fixed the hole and the GM eventually gave up, deleted the horse ahd replaced it.
