Sure: it might can stay alive - but if you even sneeze on the boss it's going to lose threat and come after you.
No other Pet Job I have see comes even close to what Beast Master is capable of in terms of damage and raw tanking ability. It's not even a contest. Those special pets they have rip hate even off my Paladin. They are enmity machines - not to mention they are hard to kill and do crazy damage to boot.

I'm speaking in general terms about content across the entirety of the game over the years, not just what people do this very moment. Also, the valoredge puppet properly configured can actually tank a lot of stuff (having 100 or 1200 JP makes it really effective as well). BST might be the best at it, but the other pet jobs have kited or tanked all kinds of NMs and content throughout FFXI's history. Have you never heard of summoner burns? When WoE was new (and pretty much even to this day), many of the first clears were all or mostly summoners throwing pets at it- Although summons won't survive as long as BST pets, they also can be resummoned quickly and immediately. I've pet tanked a variety of NMs over the years on SMN. It's not a new concept and it's not exclusive to BST.
