Lead baron around the quest area, there are several burial mounds that he will find either some bones to dig up, or a skeletal undead mob who will also drop the quest item. There will be the chat emote " baron has found something" when the dog has found either bones or undead.

This quest awards the quest giver "Huntsman Blake" as a level 109 follower. (not listed in the quest rewards on wowhead at this time)

Description

I'm afraid old Baron here is past his prime. His nose can't catch a scent the way it used to. Others told me to put him down, but I can't bear the thought of losing my loyal friend. Baron was always at his best when working, though. Maybe if you let him wander through these fields and dig up some old bones, it'll be enough to awaken his senses.

    We've received word from Khadgar that he's lost contact with the mages he sent to investigate the Legion's camps. He's requested our assistance in tracking them down. If we have any hope of locating those mages, we'll need to find ourselves a reliable hound capable of following a scent.
