A Dog's Life is a Secondary Quest in The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt. Secondary Quests are optional Quests not required to finish the game. Some of these quests may have a bearing on certain Main Quests or may be a consequence of another Quest.

A Dog's Life can be obtained by coming across a lone dog being ganged up by wolves on the road just northwest of Drudge.

 

When Geralt saw a dog which was clearly someone's beloved pet surrounded by a pack of starving wolves, he could not help but interfere and save the poor animal's life. The wolves slain, he petted the dog to calm it and discovered there was a key sewn into its collar.

Geralt followed the dog to its owner's home. Sadly, there was no living soul within it.

Walkthrough for The Witcher 3 A Dog's Life

As you journey through the road northwest of Drudge, you will encounter a lone dog being ganged up by Wolves. Intervene and save the dog from the wolves. After killing off the wolves, you will find a key on the dog's collar, then take off wanting you to follow it. If you stray too far away from the dog, the quest will automatically fail, but you can still loot the chest if you still have the key, you just won't be getting any XP.

The dog will then lead you into the Drudge where multiple Bandits will start attacking you. Defeat the bandits and open the door to the house near the bandits, you will see it just next to the signpost. You will receive 25 XP for this, and then use your witcher senses to look for loose floorboards, then pry them up to open the chest and read the notes. The quest will be completed after looting the chest.

When you exit the house, the dog is nowhere to be found. Try looting one of the bandits as one of them would always have a Bremervoord Blade on them.
