My golden retriever has a strange lump on her belly. Should I worry?

It looks like it could just be a benign tumor like a wart, but without seeing him in person, I can't say for certain. Any suspicious lumps should be examined by the vet. The vet can perform a test called a fine needle aspirate on it. To do this, the vet sticks a small needle into the lump to get a sample of its cells, and examines the cells on a slide under a microscope. It's usually painless to the animal, and relatively quick to perform. Once the cause of the lump is diagnosed, the vet can discuss treatment options if needed.

It is difficult to determine what the lumps are just by looking at them. It is best for you to have your local vet examine them. The vet will likely want to do an aspirate of the masses to help determine what they are. They may be something benign like a fatty tumor but they could also be malignant. You need to know what types of tumors they are so you can know what is the best way to treat them. https://pethelpful.com/dogs/About-Dog-Fine-Needle-Aspiration Hope this helps. Best wishes.
