Rabies generally gets infected through saliva....so no need to worry.....but is highly recommended to wash hands thoroughly.

Unless the dog is rabid , there no risk of transmission of Rabies . Mere touch on intact skin has no risk transmission of rabies. But above mentioned history is insufficient to arrive at a diagnosis. Would like to know a few more details to be able to help you better and come up with a definitive answer. , along with a few investigations. Please consult me on Practo for further course of action.

Touching a normal dog's hair doesn't cause rabies. However it's advisable to wash your hands frequently
