Dog bite in left palm
I was bitten by a pet dog in my left palm on September 2021 , within 15 mins I got my TT and anti rabies vaccine course. After 11 months yesterday 24 July 2022 , another pet dog came near my palm while I am having a bun in my hand and looking somewhere suddenly I felt that dog's teeth touched my left palm which tried to grab that bun, below the little finger. No scratch , no wound or bite mark found , no pain . I washed my hand immediately with running tap water and with soap. Should I need a booster dose ?

After being bitten by your pet dog you must have had course of post exposure vaccine.
As you have mentioned there's no wound or breach of skin and it is an pet dog ,the need for booster dose or new vaccination doesn't arise
