I tried to remove my dog’s tear stain using a wet towel, it was a hard chunky piece of gunk. While scraping it off, some of my dog’s fur came out as well, leaving a small raw looking patch near his eye. But my dog did not make any noise or react too negatively, other than squirming. Is it safe to assume that he was not in pain? Will dogs keep quiet even when they are in pain?

I thought you were going to tell me that your dog snapped and yelped when you brushed him. It sounds as if you have a well-behaved dog, and I’m glad you got the gunk away from his eye, because that could have scratched the cornea and caused intense pain. You did the right thing, and I am sure he has forgiven you for any discomfort. It sounds like he wanted the piece of junk away from his eye, too.
