It definitely shouldn't do it on Passive. Mine does all the time on
defensive, if it's a pet which does any kind of aoe debuff (bears
roar, foxes have that tailspin ability, etc), and a critter is within
the aoe, said critter gets scared and runs off, pet remembers it's in
combat with the critter and runs after it once mob is dead, and
usually brings me a few friends back, sigh. Needless to say my pets
are on passive in instances! But for questing I prefer defensive so
get to enjoy the critter chasing a lot lol.

Hehe I heard all about huntards before levelling my first hunter alt
in vanilla, and was very very careful to try to avoid being one
myself! Can't say I was ever brilliant at it but my pet was always
very carefully under control, I always had enough ammo, and I knew how
to use traps (couldn't do neat tricks like trapping 2 mobs at the same
time, but could keep a mob out of the way for a few minutes anyway).
Some pug hunters I've met though, omg. Loved the one I had when I was
supposed to be tanking, whos pet would run off and pull extra packs
all the time, who liked to pull himself even when the pet was under
control, and who claimed he did better damage meleeing than shooting,
sigh. Being fair, he probably *did* do better melee damage than
ranged, since when I armoried him he had a throwing knife equipped!!
