Best way to avoid something like that is not to summon a pet until you get to wherever you're camping. Pathing can be crazy at times. All part of the game though, hope the corpse recovery wasn't too shit [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
^ this. Good news OP is you're not alone this is a known shortcoming of having a pet and even people with solid zone and pet knowledge can run into these situations unexpectedly. Definitely avoid traveling around with a pet when possible, not only can you run into weird pathing and pathing glitches but also generally your pet will be of a lower level than you and have a larger social agro range cause you to get adds that your toon alone without a pet could otherwise get past.

For LGuk specifically the river leading into the bedroom and the bridge past the BR leading to all the rest of the undead areas are notoriously dangerous for pets to travel through and will likely result in trains due to glitchy pathing.

If you don't have one look into getting a reclaim energy item (mage focus item, can be used by all pet classes) this allows you to despawn your pet and return the mana it costs to cast the pet (or a % of it based on their HP% at the time of reclaim) so you can unsummon and resummon effeciently (also great for cycling through pets to get a max pet). Should be able to farm all the pieces if you're of level for LGuk or buy them cheaply in EC.
