The quest text is hilarious. As I carried out the instructions of attempting to pat, feed, etc. the yak, this is what the npcs said:

Bluesaddle: As you can see, this is a defective yak. Go ahead, blood elf. Try to pet it. You see? Bad yak. Now go on, blood elf. Try to feed it.

Yak-Keeper Kyana: I don't think you understand how the yak temple works. Try to understand, grummle. This is a temple to Niuzao, the great black Ox. We are servants to him, and keepers of this temple. We do not "replace yaks."

Bluesaddle: I see. Can I at least get mine serviced? He won't even take a rider.

Cousin Bag-of-Rocks: Cousin Bluesaddle... you are too persistent. And you are being mean to the blood elf.

Bluesaddle: My case is made. This yak is very bad. We will not leave this yak temple until you fix him or replace him.

Yak-Keeper Kyana: Fine. There are plenty of wild yaks near the lake to the north. You can "replace" your yak with one of those.

Bluesaddle: See, Cousin Bag-of-Rocks? Persistence pays off.

Cousin Bag-of-Rocks: But... we could have found wild yaks back in Kun-Lai...

Gotta feel for poor ol' Cousin Bag-of-Rocks. :)

May i add that the conversation goes on while you try to interact with the pet. Its hilarious in execution because the comedic effect is similar to a background event while two characters are busy chatting, like in MIB one where will smith is getting beaten teh hell up trying to get the alien mother to give birth while his Partner and the father chat nonchalantly.

Here you Sllooowwlly attempt the animations of gentle pets, offering an apple, even lightly nudging him by persistently poking with your arm and kicking him (at this point Your character is just frustrated) and then VERY slowly moving to mount on the Yak. Each time is followed with the yak (in this order), whacking you, biting you, headbutting you and flinging you away into the air...all while the npc's chat like nothings happening.
