Pet rage on owner's death

If a player or NPC dies while its pet is still alive, I think the pet should be given a rage bonus and automatically be set to agressive. It just makes sense that a pet would freak out and start killing everything if its owner was killed, plus it would be a cool feature. You could even have it be able to identify which enemy got the killing blow, and have the pet specifically target that enemy.
The only potential issues for this would be to make sure it is not too strong a buff, like a raging pet should not be any better at killing stuff than a living ranger, otherwise people will just die on purpose and let their pet do the killing (kind of like a reverse IWAY). Also, coders would have to be sure to have a mechanic that turns off the rage as soon as the owner is alive again (like if they get rezzed or are rezzed by a shrine, etc.)
