No. Human papillomavirus--that which causes all warts, including genital warts--come in two types: low-risk and high-risk. All HPV types can result in the growth of abnormal cells, but only high-risk HPV types can lead to cancer. HPV types that cause genital warts are low-risk, such as HPV-6 and HPV-11.
Do not worry. Penile warts are not cancerous and can be treated through medical procedures (laser treatment, surgery, cryotherapy) and topical remedies (Wartscide, etc).

What is the wart on your pugs head?
Warts can grow on various parts of a dog's body. Many are completely harmless, and while they do not look attractive, they are not dangerous. According to some sources, older dogs that develop warts should be watched more carefully, because those warts are more likely to be cancerous. With younger dogs, the most common kinds of warts form on the face, lips, mouth or eyelids. Some of these warts are caused by a virus and need to be treated by a veterinarian. The best thing to do if your dog has a wart is to take him or her to a vet to have it tested. It may turn out to be nothing, but better safe than sorry.
