Pets don't disconnect when player goes offline

The bug

Pets don't disconnect when their owners log off and can be killed by other players.
Meaning they should disappear and reappear just like their owners do to not get harmed or bugged by chunks being unloaded or mad players. Jeb also confirm this as a bug during Minecon 2012, as seen here (unfortunately this video is not available anymore).
