Piece of cake. Did this July 28, 2008 on Akama (PVP) server. No need to die more than once, no "corpse hopping" required. It took a bit more than an hour and was loads of fun. I think I could have easily done this at level ten.
1) Strip down (unless you're rich enough to pay the repair bill), run north out of the Barrens into Ashenvale and let yourself be killed.*
2) As a ghost, run through Ashenvale and Darkshore to the Auberdine dock, ride the boat to Teldrassil (Rut'theran Village), run through the portal into Darnassus, and keep running all the way to the Dolanaar (not Darnassus) graveyard.
3) At this point I logged out to the character screen and logged back in,** then took the Spirit Healer there in Dolanaar, and went to get my owl.***
4) Hearth home and enjoy the compliments on your unusual "for the Horde!" low-level pet!
*Ghosts run faster than live characters, so get killed as early as possible to cut down on your transit time.
**I've read comments on some forums that you may not need to log out and log back in if you died more than one zone away, but I did not verify that. It only adds a few seconds to the process anyway.
***The Strigid Hunter is the highest level owl available (8 to 9) and also already knows Claw 2 when tamed.
It was of course lucky that there were virtually no Allied players around to dodge (this was around six to seven in the evening, must just have been a slow night). If it had been "too busy" the plan was to just log out at the graveyard until early morning hours.
