Chance of Rabies from a dog who is alive
We adopted a street dog in January, he was 1 month old and unvaccinated. In march i was playing with him and his tooth gave me a little scratch on hand and little blood less than a drop came. I washed it with water but didn't take vaccine. In April while playing his tooth gave a small cut on my hand and i took three vaccine. Its been 7 months now and my dog is very healthy. I am in depression right can i have rabies. Please consult.

Not all dogs have rabies, and not all dog bite spread rabies. Even though you adopted him from the street, he is fine and not having any rabies signs. Moreover, you got vaccination, so no worries.
If you want, you can also go for rabies antibody detection test with your physician so you can be 100% sure you have immunity against rabies disease.
