My puppy has a hole in his penis. Is this a serious problem?

My poor little guy has this hole in his penis, it either happened this morning or last night... I'm definitely going to be taking him in to the vet soon but just wanted to see what any of you thought? He's just so damn tough he doesn't even cry... unless he's not near me... mommas boy.

Hello. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. It is very difficult for me to comment without at least seeing a photo of what you are referring to. Can you please post again with some photos? Is the hole in the prepuce (sheath) that holds the penis or is the hole in the penis itself? Thank you.
