The whale looks a bit like a giant rock on the sea floor. Also, it is directly west of where the wreck is drawn on the map. It should be east and a little north of where the marker is pointing you. This information is current as of beta patch 15781.

I have journeyed through Azeroth since before the Cataclysm and left a trail of bodies in my wake. I have torn through the halls of Icecrown Citadel to strike down Arthas with my axes and looked upon the face of Deathwing as he died.

I am a Savior of Azeroth, but nothing will get me out of sifting through poop and walking the dog. T_T

Dog is anything but. He is actually a Lion Seal. You need to summon him using the provided shell. You should make sure you summon him before arriving at a location, otherwise the quest doesn't seem to correctly register that you have 'taken' him to each of the following locations:

The Silt Vents at 46,74
The Wreck of the Mist-Hopper at 44,78
The Whale Corpse at 39,78

Dog tends to be rather distracted around the wreck, rubbing up against it, so do any other quests involving him away from that location.

If you have problems with him "discovering" the areas, swim away from said area, de-summon him by clicking the shell and then re-summon him and swim back into the area. Worked for me.

I can't complete.. When at the dead whale i can't complete it

Comment by 721550

if you have a problem with finding an area like some one said b4 re-spawn him away form the area and walk/run/swim back in

Comment by Rumbuddy

If you click on him it says something like "This has got to be the most pathetic lion seal you've ever seen." But Dog's a hero!

Comment by revrob

"dog looks around cautiously before leaving his mark on the whale corpse"

......good boy.

Comment by XylanTrueheart

A word of caution when walking Dog. He will attack the Rockshell Snapclaw and the Rockshell Clacker if they get too close. While doing the Walking Dog quest you will pick up a quest, Dog Food when you summon him which involves having him eat the remains of the above said Rockshells. While doing these quests I noticed he wasn't along side of me and was actually fighting a group of wandering Rockshell Clacker and would not reappear next to me when he was done. In that case I had to click the Dog's Whistle to dismiss him and click it again for him to reappear with me.

Comment by Luhka

Quest title and content seems to be nod to the fishing technique 'walking the dog'.

Comment by Otium

Just going there and talking to the Captain won't give you the quest.
I bet there's rep to be grinded before you do.
I'll find out, off to Nat Paigle and such.

If you are stuck and can't complete on the whale corpse - go to the shell at the bottom of the whale's tail and he will complete. Got stuck here for so long! Hope this helps.

"Dog swims excitedly through the vents of warm water" when you accomplish bringing him to the silt vents.

I have this uneasy feeling that I was swimming around in sea lion pee there for awhile.

Quest markers are pretty accurate as of now, just take the sealion/seadog to each location and hover to get credit.

The Silt Vents at 46.32, 74.44
The Wreck of the Mist-Hopper at 44.45, 77.69
The Whale Corpse at 40.24, 77.95

Description

Dog ain't my "pet." He's a member of this crew, and my best friend. Saved my life more than once, you know.

But I'm gettin' too old to walk him anymore, and he still needs his exercise. Take Dog for a trip around the shelf for me, would ya?

He loves to swim through the hot geysers just southeast of the shallows.

He absolutely has to... er... "leave his mark" on the dead whale at the far western edge of the shelf.

Oh, and he'll want to visit our old shipwreck, too. He likes to reminisce.
