56 fire pet won't take weapons
 

So I tried to give the 56 fire pet: Dyzil's Deafening Decoy a couple gnoll hide lariats and he just ate them. I thought visually it just might not be showing them but no procs either. Tried summoned swords of runes and just eats as well. Same with velium weapons. I don't think it's taking any equipment as giving him a muzzle of mardu doesn't seem to do anything either.

Was a bug report back in 2012 that was never answered.

Reported again in 2014

From this thread sounds like it may be intended?

Okay I don't see anything there showing any info from live or actual patch notes from live. Just someone on 99 saying what it currently does. I don't remember any mage pets on live that you couldn't give weapons to. Anyone have any old links that reference this pet?

check Lucy's / Allakhazam. There is 'Raw spell data' tab. I don't know what all those db entries are but maybe the Devs can take a look if you give them a link.

Here's the link but I don't know what attribute would have to do with pet wielding weapons or equipping items:

Also here is a snapshot from 2003:
