Take vaccines on day 0,3,7 and observe the puppy. If puppy dies within 10th day of bite, complete the course, else leave the rest doses of vaccines.

There is no need to take vaccine. The dog should be under observation and if it shows any abnormal behaviour then you should consult with the Doctor.
