Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Hugo is very handsome. If this does not seem to bother him then it is probably just an anatomical variant and not anything concerning necessarily. If he ever seems to have pain from it, I recommend you have him evaluated by a veterinarian. Best of luck!
