hi,
thank you for providing the brief history of you.
As you have this doubt about the mechanism of injury as the paw of the dog I feel this should be a muscular injury which led to swelling .
Also depending upon how the paw was and the pressure things can be understood better. Even if there are any tooth marks or such needs an examination.
Swelling will be a protective mechanism and things should be fine in 3-7 days of time.
