Wash the area affected with soap and running water. Then, go to the doctor for vaccination. It will be better to act early, while observing the dog if there is any changes of behavior.

Well i really think you should do doctor imediately and that's the most important step to be taken. And also that's a safe way to do matter the dog has rabies. Good luck on you.

I did a search, and the animal bit doesn't necessarily need to break skin for the virus to be transmitted. Saliva can get into your body other ways, although it's not as common. You've probably got nothing to worry about, BUT I'd see a doctor anyway, today. There's no point taking chances.

If there is no wound and your skin is not broken, you do not need to worry. The dog's saliva would have to get into your bloodstream to cause any danger. I would suggest that you research the rabies symptoms in dogs and if that dog has no symptoms, it most likely does not have rabies.

No wound but don't be too confident ,observe the dog for 10 days , if the dog gets sick then for sure the dog got rabies , don't waste a second go then to the nearest hospital , ask ffor medical help it is a very dreaded disease.
