If there is no bleeding no puncture, skin is intact. Then vaccination against rabies is not called for.
On the other note, an anti rabies vaccination from 20 years ago has absolutely no validity. If there is. Dog bite again. Then do get vaccinated

If your skin is intact, then there is nothing to worry about. You can reconfirm it with your physician, too. Viruses can enter from a wound, not from normal skin. Vaccination which you took 20 years back will not have effect now.
