Hello. I just read through your question.in the case of a dog that is appropriately vaccinated, there is generally no need to worry about rabies. If we are unsure about the dog vaccination status, we can simply observe the dog. If the dog begins to show signs of rabies, we assume that rabies has been transmitted to the person who was bitten, if the dog behaves as per usual, without signs and symptoms of rabies, we do not have to worry about the person who was bitten.
