You are completely safe upto one year starting from the date of last vaccination. You do not need to take vaccination again within one year in case of dog bite , but i advise you avoid situations that may get you a dog bite . Dog bite causes pain both physically and mentally.

There is no need to go for one more vaccination immediately. Each vaccination has its own validity. You can check the validity of yours with your physician. Till that period, there is no need to get multiple vaccinations.

Absolutely no need for vaccination as of now. However, if such an incident repeats itself 8/9 months later. You can get your antibody titre tested and then get vaccinated if it is low.
