He's supposed to wait by the road, then lead you to Meeko's Shack to "notify" you of his master's death. There's a pathway leading from the road to Meeko's Shack, which Meeko will use. If you approach his house from another direction other than the road, you'll need to circle around to the road and look for him there.
