If I recall correctly, only one of the heads likes to be pet. Don't lose a hand.
What particular part of the world has a dialect where they can't get this tense correct?
Language is always evolving, and for a term as long standing as pet, with such wide use, it's no longer an incorrect use of the word. Pet as a past participle aligns with the use of similar words like bet and set, and on a cultural basis petted sounds like the way a little kid speaks.
