You've both fought, bled, and recovered together from the chaos of more battles than either of you would ever care to remember. 'Your pet and you have been inseparable for countless seasons. Hell, lore-wise, you could describe it something like: Keep your pet out during raids and battlegrounds to keep those abilities you could only use as long as it's alive, but if it dies and you don't, at least your DPS won't suffer because this buff becomes active immediately after your pet croaks.
I, for one, like to think of this as (if done right) having the potential for something more in-between.
