About a year ago my dog (~7mo at the time) would lunge at the ravens and try to chase them even though he was on a leash. I changed my route to prevent that behavior, but the ravens remembered both of us.

One morning they flew above us with a rotting sausage and dropped it right in front of my dog and waited for him to eat it. I had to pull it out of his mouth and when I looked up the ravens were all watching us.

I can’t say for sure, but it certainly felt like revenge.

Why do you assume that they'd know that a rotting sausage might harm your dog? It sounds like they were being kind and helpful.
Presumably, most animals have evolved to be able to smell rotting meat.
