The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Hints
How can I get this quest?
1 of 6: You'll first have to get your character up to level 10 or higher.
2 of 6: Approach the western entrance to the town of Falkreath to get a guard to ask you about a dog.
3 of 6: After you talk to him, make the miscellaneous objective "Speak to Lod" active so you can follow the quest arrow to Lod.
4 of 6: Talk to him about the dog, optionally trying the persuade check to get some gold.
5 of 6: Follow the new quest arrow to a spot where a dog named Barbas will talk to you.
6 of 6: NOTE: After talking to Barbas, you can go back to Lod and tell him the dog was more trouble than he's worth to get 25 gold.
