This item is a possible reward from the quests 
[70] Back to the Orphanage and 
[70] Back to the Orphanage which both begin with Orphan Matron Mercy in Shattrath City's Lower City during the Children's Week seasonal event.
Notes
Willy has a unique non-combat pet ability in that he can kill almost any creature in the game classified as a "critter" (rats, cows, etc). Willy will automatically attack a random, single critter that is within a 10-yard radius, and the attack occurs once every 3-minutes (if no critter is within the attack radius then that attack is simply skipped at the appropriate time and the timer resets). The timer resets when Willy is first summoned (or unsummoned/re-summoned), and continues counting as long as Willy remains summoned. He also has a tendency to fall asleep and wake up with a start.
The other two item reward options from the quest line are [Elekk Training Collar] and [Egbert's Egg]. Only one of these can be chosen per year, but when the event repeats itself next year you will be able to choose another.
Trivia
- Willy may possibly be a reference to One-Eyed Willy of The Goonies.
