Good Question. It is probably not proven historically why Ares's symbols would be a dog and a vulture but...

My best guess is that... when a battle was fought, the carrion birds would gather and wait. They would watch the battle and when it was over was a feast of rotting and decaying humans. SInce vultures are often thought of as the representative carrion birds, they would be a good choice.

As for the dog, dogs can be vicious but for exact reasons, I am not sure.
