If you are afraid then you can go for vaccination but usually it is less likely . If dog is alive for 1 months it s less chance that it was affected by rabies. And just licking on intact skin will not be harmful most of the time . Hope the dog was domestic and vaccinated too

Confirm whether the dog is alive and healthy even now or survived at least 10 days after exposure.
If dog status is unknown or suspicious, consult a nearby government hospital or ID specialist for advice on post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP), even if delayed.
No action is needed if the dog was healthy and the skin was intact.
