is spread by tumor cells getting passed from dog to dog

Indeed, but no mention of dog-to-human transmission.

There's also the infamous Tasmanian Devil facial tumour disease. It is also transmissible, mainly because a population bottleneck has reduced the genetic diversity of Tasmanian Devils to the point where their immune systems have trouble telling each other's cells apart.
