You can have a sheep army too!
He's a pretty easy tame, just don't let him touch you and he has about a 5 minute respawn timer.
My favorite mechanical pet is the sheep - (10x big red sheepies eating someone's face in pvp. Best thing ever) N.U.T.Z is pretty cool, especially if you want a smaller pet. I love the spider pets too .
There are quite a few mechanical pets that hunters can use
One of the reasons why I like the sheep, especially for multiboxing (and besides the fact that...they're sheep...) is the fact that they don't really have an engage sound. So if you're spamming a /petattack macro - they don't make your melee go insane in LFR or raids. When I ran with spiders in LFR I got complaints because the spiders have an engage sound that sounds like hissing gears. I also got complaints about my dinos.
