Swollen eye

hi, I have a shiba inu who recently has developed a hard lump under his left eye. It feels similar to the texture of a bone, and does not seem to bother him when pressed. His behavior has not changed as well. Should I be worried? I have taken photos and have monitored him but am unsure what steps I should take

Could e a number of things but best to have any suspicious lumps checked, especially near or on the eye.  You sure don't want it tipo be something that could result in vision loss.
