Any lumps/bumps that you notice on your dog should be checked out by your vet. Lumps are usually one of these things: * abscess * cyst * cancer tumor (benign or malignant) * wart There is no way I can tell you what it is just by looking at a photo but I have a suspicion it is a histiocytoma (benign tumor). It is best to have this checked out by your vet. ( https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4952066 )
