That was after they changed it to where pets couldn't draw proxy aggro themselves.
Currently on P99, pets draw proxy aggro of mobs, meaning if they are just standing somewhere and a KoS mob comes near them, it will attack your pet. In the era you are thinking of, the same situation would involve the KoS mob walking past your pet and ignoring him entirely.
When that change happens, when you send a pet on an NPC, if the NPC was a green con, it will not call for assist from any of its friends and come single so long as the pet is alive.
The low level fire pets were good for this, you can send them to attack, back them up after 2 seconds if they don't nuke. Repeat until they nuke from afar.
It is *possible* the code still allows for this type of pull but it would be very difficult with pets getting proxy aggro.
