I put the little guy out for awhile while I was questing in contested territory. Then I realized that A: he makes me easier to spot and B: he makes me
possible to spot while stealthed. So I put him away.
A little while later, I was killing some mobs for a quest when a trio of Alliance people came by. Two of them were rogues, one of the rogues had a bear out. I stealthed myself and took cover til I could see what they were doing.
A high-level Horde member came traipsing by, and killed one of them. The rogues stealthed and made a break for it, but the one still had his bear out, which lead the Horde character right to him.
