Yep.
And it's literally the claw itself, not the paw.

Granted, my dogs aren't bears. But my dogs put their claws on me all the time without scratching me. If she's holding the bear's paw and the claw is just resting on skin. . . I could see it. Or, 1/4 second after the shot was taken was when the mauling started.
