I have a boar pet actually and wanted to run some instances with my warrior friend, but he doesn't like tanking because he says its for people who are too weak to hurt things. Anyways, I was gonna let my pet tank things while I did damage, is this a good idea, a bad idea or a kind of retarded idea but it could be good if I did some things - if you know what i mean, wink wink, lol.

There are some posts around of hunters who used boars or especially gorillas to tank even heroics. I don't think a hunter pet will have the tools necessary to tank a raid boss, but it might happen. They might be fine off-tanking a lieutenant-level boss add.
