Pets that were not capable of dual-wielding did not equip weapons in their offhand.

29 PET DOES DUEL WIELD, By Sthiku (6/20/2001)
the 29 pet always duel wields. No matter what. It just has different skill levels. If your pet will hold two weapons it will duel wield. that does not mean they will always hit with the offhand weapon. The higher the pet the more often the offhand weapon will hit.
The 24 level spell can summon a pet that will duel wield. I have done it. but its skill is really low.
find a level 29 mage to make some rune swords for you. to bad they fixed the bug where they rune swords would proc on anything if held by a pet.
