Patch 3.3 is now Live, with Corehound Puppies

The Core Hound Pup is a gift for anyone using an authenticator (attached to an account) whether it’s the physical authenticator or the mobile authenticator. Anyone who attaches an authenticator will also receive this lovable new pet. Think of it as your own personal guard dog. (source)

Maybe it’s for the ongoing 5th year celebration but I’m not complaining about a free mini-pet. I don’t even like the mini-pets in game all that much and I certainly don’t collect tons of them (yet) but it’s nice to have the little guy around. My daughter was hovering about when I got him in the mail and there were adorable little 2 year old squeals when he started to yip and dig up a bone.
