I read this paperback in the 80's. This is what I remember:

  1. the main characters are two male teens/pre-teens who do not get along but need to work together.
  2. They portal to another world where they are given a quest.
  3. They are given spears or rods that are unbreakable and food bowls in which any type of food can appear when they wish for it.
  4. One of the main characters tries to tame a wolf/wild dog towards the end.
  5. One chapter has the two boys running from place to place with torches trying to light things for a ritual.
  6. One chapter has the word of witch or witches in its title
  7. The paperback cover has a wolf on it and other fantasy things around it
  8. Upon completing the quest they humbly do not accept the monetary reward that is promised.
