Brief Answer:
I think you are safe specially if there is no break in continuity of skin.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
If there is no cut or break in the continuity of the skin layer then there is nothing to be worried about.
Was the bite provoked or unprovoked?
Was the dog pet or stray?
Where is the injury?
I could get a fair idea if you send me a photo.
But dont worry I think you are fairly safe.
When you reply also do let me know when the bite happened?
Take care,

See detailed answer.

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
The symptoms of rabies can start as early as a few days after contact to as late as 12 weeks. It usually starts with fever and weakness and bodyaches lasting for a few days. There could also be a burning at the bitten area. Thereafter there can be mucle weakness or paralysis of various muscle groups.
One way of knowing is that the dog that has bitten would die within 10 days of the bite.
