The ones in dogs that are a concern are in their mouths and on their feet.

I found the following links that have pictures and information:

Melanocytoma

Dogs Get Skin Cancer Too - CBS News
you read my mind..I was searching for pics and more info. Thank You! and I wholeheartedly agree with you, I wouldn't be happy either until you find out for sure. Once the Vet had a question in her mind the worrying would begin with me.
