Went for a walk and he cried?

Yesterday me and Rako went for about a 2 mile walk and on our way home about 1.3 miles later he stopped and started to cry his right back leg look like it was out of place and he then lifted up one at a time both his back leggs. Then we stopped I gave him a massage and we rested for about 15 20 mins. And he was ok after that do you think it is something serious or should I just let it go?

No one should even hazard a guess as to whether this is serious or not. Some questions you need to ask yourself are: How old is this dog to be going that distance? What are your expectations regarding his soundness based on his pedigree and/or based on any xrays you've had taken? Then decide whether you should request some xrays be taken by your vet.

You should take him to the vet and get him examined and xrayed. No one here can see the dog or how he moved. To try to guess is all but pointless since we can't see him.
