My dog has a lump on his face. I noticed it when he was laying down. It was bleeding and hair was coming out. It feels like something is under the skin like a lump?

Oh that lump is quite large! It could be Bowser has a dental problem like a tooth root abscess causing this. He needs to see a vet for it, please take him into one first thing in the morning. Best of luck.
