What causes a popping sound in my dog's back leg when he walks?

Question

When my dog walks his right back paw is making a popping sound. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | neutered | 2 years and 3 months old | 40 lbs

This could be due to a luxating patella - a knee cap that isn’t staying in place - or a ligament or tendon that is rubbing/catching on a bone. I suggest you have Zeus examined by your vet so you can get a proper diagnosis.
