It isn't a pet as such. My guess is that he (like us) had never seen an elum before paramonia. Just like we had to work out how to control the stubborn beast (relying on story-stones) he had to also.
But that leads on to an interesting question; are elums domesticated and trained to respond to the elum-gong or are they wild creatures who have developed a relationship with the muds?
