Does anyone know what kind of worm this may be? It was crawling out of my dogs butt yesterday

This appears to be a tapeworm proglottid. You will need to do two things: 1) worm your dog with a wormer containing praziquantel. Normal puppy or dog wormers will not kill this. 2) tapeworms are transmitted by fleas. So you will have to do flea control as well.
