It sounds like Bruno just banged his arm on something. While it is certainly possible he suffered an injury that requires attention, I think you should wait and see how he reacts over the next 24 hours. If he is not currently showing any symptoms of pain, it is likely that he simply injured himself in the equivalent way that maybe you or I would experience when we stub our toe or hit our funny bone. Dogs are a lot tougher than people. Lets give Bruno a chance and see how he does.
