Okay My Name Is John And I Was Bit By

Okay my name is john and I was bit by a healthy dog about 3 weeks ago. I went back to the house to verify the dog was still alive after 14 days anand he was just fine but for the past week I've been getting a weird prickling feeling at the bite. It didnt puncture my skin. As a matter of face the dog bit me on the outside of my pants and caused an abrasion. The was a small amount of blood if not any but the whole rabies thing has my anxiety sky high. And i did some research and prickling is not okay at the bite. Please give me any advice on what this might be. The bite was ever punctured so idk how nerve damage would play into that. I just asked the dog owner if the dog was still okay and he told me hes just fine 21 days after bite
