Hi , since it's a street 🐕 dog you have to be careful. There may not be visible marks but even through previous cuts and through small abaression it can spread .visiting a General practitioner or Casuality doctor will be enough .
Next Steps
anyway clean with soap and water
if any previous wounds present of if any aberrations are there after the attack it's better to take anti rabies injection
