1.Watch the dog for 10 days. 2.Make sure that dog has been vaccinated for Rabies . 3.No need of Tetanus toxoid if child has been properly immunised. 4.Hope you have washed the wound if any with soap & water. 5.Consult a local doctor for assessment of break of skin & death of wound. 6.May be given Rabies vaccine in case of any doubt in ensuring above points. 7.The vaccination may be converted in to pre- exposure regime from post exposure regime later on if vaccination is started . 8.Consult in case of any questions.

Usually no need for anti rabies vaccine if dog is vaccinated, just tetanus injection is given, but depends on the depth of bite too.
Next Steps
Consult paediatrician for wound examination and further advice
