Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! The pictures aren't coming through super clear on my end but it appears to be a "skin tag". It could also be a sebacious cyst. Both of these are benign and usually ignored. Of course, give it a good feel about once a week, and if it gets larger, hard, or painful for Riley, it'st time to see the vet. Best of luck to you and Riley!
