You get a cage with a plaguehound in it, so run out into the fields towards the west of the landing (near the elevator) and bring out the pup. You can do one of two things to get agro on the crows that fly overhead, you can 1. dot 'em or pull them yourself or 2. have your dog do it , its the only ability he has that isn't an attack. The meat is 100% drop if your dog is out and you can click on the meat in your inventory to feed it to your dog.

If you get the brilliant idea to save him for company (and a little bit of dps) it wont work outside Vengance Landing
Hunters (and warlocks I suppose), should summon the pet while mounted, while doing so, you'll keep your "real" pet, and can use it to fight with the crows.

What to do
Description
The high executor wants me to use my dogs to sniff out enemy scouts, but I can tell you right now these plaguehounds aren't going anywhere until they're properly fed. If our military doesn't understand that these beasts are picky enough to not eat the rubbish they've given me, then they can't expect them to be of any use in the field. You seem to have some time on your hands, why don't you take one of these dogs out hunting for crows out west? Their meat isn't very tasty to us, but my boys love it!

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Report to Anselm
Let's send word back to old Anselm then. Victory has come later than expected, but better late than never. Tell him it will take our forces a few hours at most to finish off the stragglers here. Glory to the Banshee Queen!
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Sniff Out the Enemy
Now that this rascal's belly's full, maybe he will be more willing to cooperate. Here's his leash, just come get him from his cage whenever you're ready to take him. I don't know what Anselm expects you to find, but look for clues wherever it is that the dog takes you.
