I explained to a GM at the time I had ran across loque and in haste abandoned it to tame the spirit beast (at the time was only SB around) with the full intent of retaming the hydra once the dailie came back around.. unfortunately it didn't come back around for a bit and then they patched it under my nose. I dumped my wind serpent that was the only pet I could easily retame in cata and they dumped me back my hydra in that empty slot :3 So I got em and Loque. ^.^
Aside that, I wouldn't ask for a pet to be restored. If a lot of people end up doing such then they may disallow pet restoring PERIOD Unless it was recent and by mistake or some bug.
Yeah I can see it in that case; you abandoned him when you could still reasonably expect to be able to replace him if needed, and whilst Blizzard may not have exactly intended him to be tamable, he still wasn't an "exploit pet" like Garwal... and so to not give him back in that scenario would be to promote the idea that Blizzard wants everyone to tame pets as if every family is going to become untamable tomorrow.
Now if you'd abandoned him
after Spirit of Koosu became untamable (especially if it was
months afterward), then I'd say you'd be on your own, but again for the circumstances you described I think you deserved to get your pet back, and see this as an affirmation that Blizzard GMs are willing to put some serious thought into even the most unusual requests for help.
