Though they won't exactly help heroes in a fight, non-combat pets are a fun customization option in Minecraft Dungeons that allows players to stand out a little more than usual.
With several pets available in Minecraft Dungeons, and more on the way thanks to the upcoming Seasonal Adventures update, it may be a little confusing as to how to unlock certain pets.
Fortunately, the baby pig is a pet available to players both old and new, as it was unlocked for all players. This was a celebratory gift for Minecraft Dungeons passing the 10 million player threshold.

Overall, there are currently nine non-combat pets available within Minecraft Dungeons. Nine additional pets have also been confirmed as part of the Cloudy Climb Seasonal Adventure rewards.
Information is scant on how those specific pets will be earned, but many players assume it will likely correlate with the new Battle Pass-type system that Seasonal Adventures is unveiling. As heroes accrue Adventure Points, they'll unlock rewards in a tiered fashion, and it's likely that these pet cosmetics will be part of that reward structure.
For players searching for certain non-combat pets in Minecraft Dungeons, they can find a list of the pet, their unlock requirements, and their flavor text below:

Once players have obtained their non-combat pet, including the baby pig, equipping it is a simple process. All heroes need to do is enter their inventory and head over to their cosmetics page. From there, heroes can equip/unequip their pets alongside a bevy of other customization options.
These options include capes as well as new customizations via Cloudy Climb, including emotes and even flairs which activate when players do things such as respawn, heal, or level up.
With so many customizations available and more on the way, standing out as a unique hero has only gotten easier. Players can equip cosmetics to their heart's content, and their Minecraft Dungeons hero will have all the fancy bells and whistles they need. Bringing along a non-combat pet can help keep a hero company in the dangerous depths of the dungeons.
It is currently unclear if more cosmetic pets will become available after Cloudy Climb's season concludes in Seasonal Adventures, but the possibility is likely quite high as the developers attempt to keep player engagement as high as possible.
