My dog chewed on my ProAir inhaler at some point today. He is fine right now but could something bad still happen?

I would expect that if anything bad was to happen to Junior, you would have seen signs by now. Dogs chewing on inhalers and getting exposed to the medication in them often have acute reactions meaning that you see signs of a problem pretty quickly. I'd still keep an eye on him for now, and if you are very worried, have him seen by a vet just to be safe. Best of luck.
