Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
I have already answered this question earlier.
Rabies has a fatality rate of 100 percent and once a person is affected by rabies he doesn't live to see so many years and also not the dog.
So i think you should stop worrying about it.
For future protection, you can take a course of rabies vaccine.
Best regards.
