There is no need for Tetanus injection for this case . But you should take a proper course of Tetanus vaccination (three doses) which gives you immunity for 5 years.

If you had dog bite, you should have taken anti rabies vaccination, not merely tetanus. Also, tetanus injection is not required in current case. You can share wound photos for better assessment
