How to get the free Diablo 4 pet

With Diablo 4's first expansion, Vessel of Hatred, shown at Xbox's Summer Game Fest showcase this week, players are being treated to a few premium goodies right now for preordering. But perhaps more importantly, a much-requested feature has finally arrived: pets. Let's take a look at how to get your own dog - and I will not be calling it anything other than a "dog" - right now.
